Everton have lacked the killer instinct in the last few games.
3. Everton seemed to lack fire for much of the match
For the first 20 minutes, the Toffees looked good and matched their desire with a good goal around the 20th minute. Dominic Calvert-Lewin flicked a long ball from Jordan Pickford to Bernard.
Bernard, who was filling in for his fellow Brazilian Richarlison, made himself some space and beat David De Gea to put Everton up, 1-0.
However, the Toffees seemed to take their foot off the accelerator and United were back in the game and ahead in 15 minutes.
Bruno Fernandes headed home a nice cross from Luke Shaw to equalise about six minutes later as Keane and Holgate gave him too much space.
The Royal Blues had a chance to go back in front when Lucas Digne rattled DeGea’s upright, however, that was about it for Everton.
Fernandes put United in front with a goal that should have had Everton scratching its head. He floated in a cross towards Marus Rashford, who wasn’t able to make contact with it, but it still managed to drop into the corner of Everton’s goal. It was the kind of goal that shouldn’t be given away by a Premier League.
A win would have put Ancelotti’s team on top of the Premier League, however, that failed to motivate Ancelotti’s team. Edison Cavani scored in injury time to round out the score.
Ancelotti takes his squad into the second international break in a different situation than he did in the first as the Toffees entered that break with four straight victories. This time around, Everton haven’t won in four straight.
The Everton manager hopes he’ll be able to rekindle his squad during this break.
He told the BBC
"It is fortunate that there is an international break This was a really difficult, bad period for us and I hope that is finished. I hope we can come back from the international break in the way we started this season."
