Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti admits he is surprised at the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The English striker has continued his sensational streak since Ancelotti became manager last season.

Calwert-Lewin has 16 goals this season, as his manager compared him to former Italy and Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi.

"He's a fantastic striker. I didn't expect this kind of consistency," said the Italian to reporters.

"He's scoring every game. It's so important for us.

"It's a big surprise and I hope it will be another surprise at the end of the season."

On where the 23-year-old can improve, Ancelotti added: "The important thing for him is consistency.

"He's really improved in the box, the movement is outstanding."
