Iwobi gave a good account of himself in the encounter but his effort was not enough to help his side avoid their sixth defeat of the season. The game started with both sides striving to outwit each other but despite their efforts, the first half ended without goals. After the re...

‘The conundrum’: Rio Ferdinand suggests the ‘big question’ Everton face next month
Former great Manchester United defender turned popular football pundit Rio Ferdinand has been left impressed with Everton following their win against Southampton last week.

Opinion: Everton’s next six games could define their season
That Carlo Ancelotti would improve Everton in his first full-season was expected, but taking them into top four after 14 games is some progress. It’s marvellous.

Ancelotti in an exclusive interview with Liverpool Echo recently stated that he wants gradual progress at the club. While the Italian will aim for the top-four spot, he will be satisfied if the Toffees can get into European places. Everton started their Premier League season brilliantly. It was a blitzkrieg and took everyone by surprise. They were flying after picking up four wins and a draw in their opening five Premie...
