Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti wants his players to celebrate after victory at Liverpool.

It was the first time since 1999 that Everton had won at Anfield.

After the 2-0 win, Ancelotti said: “I am very pleased for the club and the supporters. I hope for sure that they are going to celebrate tonight. It was a good performance. A lot of fight and spirit. I am really happy.

"We played with two strikers James Rodriguez and Richarlison and we played with [Seamus] Coleman to fix the position of Robertson and four at the back to control [Mohamed] Salah, [Sadio] Mane and [Roberto] Firmino.

“We wanted to avoid the pressure from Liverpool. We know they press a lot but sometimes we had the opportunity to play. Richarlison is back. He is scoring and is playing with a lot of consistency. He has that quality.

“We have to find more consistency at home and we are working on this. We are fighting for Europe and now we are in a good position. This kind of performance helps to improve the belief of the team.

“Jordan [Pickford] did really well. He accepted the criticism. You have to do that and try to be better and he did it."
