Carlo Ancelotti names area in which Everton could not match Fulham Carlo Ancelotti admitted that Everton were beaten by the better side against Fulham and is surprised their opponents are in the relegation zone.

Things are still looking up for the Toffees, who are seventh in the table, but their manager fears they are not doing as well physically as they were earlier in the season. He told BBC Sport: “[We struggled with] the physical aspect [after the 5-4 win over Spurs]. “Practically we were not able to play as we wanted. We wanted to have a good control of the game putting more midfielders on the pitch but they press a lot and we could not play as want. “We did well when we played every three days [earlier this season]. Physically we didn’t have the necessary power to match the intensity of Fulham. “Sometimes you have to say the opponent played better than you and they deserved to win. “I’m surprised they’re in the bottom three. They played well, not only against us – against Liverpool and Manchester United. They have a clear idea – they deserved to win tonight.” Ancelotti discusses striker situation Against Fulham, Ancelotti opted to play without a recognised centre-forward.
