Despite arriving with enough motivation for the other results and the return of James Rodríguez, the 'toffees' played a fairly regular first half: imprecision, errors at the start, passivity and disorder.

The first minutes (6 ') were a single from the visiting team. First it was Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who received a deep ball in total solitude, had time to give himself a moment to define, but goalkeeper Robin Olsen saved. Moments later, the linesman invalidated everything out of place. First notification.

At 9 ', the turn came to Bobby Reid. After a corner kick from the left wing, the team's goal scorer hit the near post with a heel that ended up crashing into Olsen's right vertical, on the rebound Joachim Andersen wanted to capitalize, but the home defense reacted. Second notice.

Ten minutes later, Harrison Reed delivered a powerful right hand from middle range and again Olsen appeared to put out the fire. In total there were 20 minutes of total siege.

As for the locals, there was no reaction whatsoever. They suffered from the sides in defense, while in attack the men of ideas failed to connect. James looked only in the middle, Andre Gomes was the only one trying to get close, but Sigurdsson, pulled to the left, and Richarlison, leading, were far apart. Total short circuit.

Just the two clearest of the premises arrived after half an hour of the game, both with direct participation of the Colombian creative. In the first one he made a great individual play, assisted Gomes who advanced and released a deflected shot; in the second he recovered the ball and left it to Séamus Coleman, the captain advanced like a winger, finished on the edge of the area and the ball ended up crashing into the post.

The second part started in the worst way. After just three minutes, Ademola Lookman overflowed in a good way on the left, joined Ola Aina and he sent a flush cross for Josh Maja to define with an empty goal.

With the above, Ancelotti decided to make nominal and module changes. Coleman and Davies came out, Keane and King came in. With this, the idea was to return to the line of 4 in the background and two players in front.

However, the Londoners, far from going back to take care of a valuable victory, followed by. Again Lookman ate the left wing, in the last third he left it to Reid who crashed his shot on the post and Maja captured the rebound to make it 2-0 at 65.

As if that was not enough, two minutes later James had to be substituted due to a severe blow to the ankle. All bad for Carletto.

From then on, things changed little. Fulham completely controlling the rhythms of the game and Everton without being able to meet on the field. It was not seen where the discount could even go.

However, luck also played against him. At 78 he was able to get into the game with a goal from King, after a precise cross by Andre Gomes from the right wing, but the line invalidated by off-side.

In the last minutes, the visit fell back, thus allowing the homeowner to advance lines. Despite this, the party was more than sentenced. Fulham broke a 12-game winless streak (8D - 4E) and also triumphed for the first time at Goodison Park; Everton, for its part, lost the opportunity to reach the top-5 of the table.
