Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti wants to be stronger at the back after their 5-2 rout of West Brom.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin dominated the scoreline with a hat-trick.

They go to League OneFleetwood Town on Wednesday targeting a Carabao Cup fourth-round berth and resume their league campaign three days later at Crystal Palace.

And Ancelotti wants his side to iron out the flaws which led to West Brom seizing the early initiative before Everton's compelling response.

"In the first half we did not have balance… we were not able to control the transition," said Ancelotti.

“That was why we conceded the first goal

“We had a great advantage with the red card but conceded a silly goal [West Brom's 47th-minute equaliser] because we lost the ball in the first minute of the second half.

“Our combination up front was good.

“I am satisfied with our forward play but we have to be better at the back."
