LONDON:
Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged his team were some way short of Chelsea s quality after losing 2-0 to Thomas Tuchel s side in the Premier League on Monday.
A Ben Godfrey own goal and a second-half penalty from Jorginho stretched Chelsea s unbeaten run under Tuchel to 11 games while Everton slipped to sixth. They played better than us and deserved to win, Ancelotti told BT Sport. We were good defensively for 30 minutes. When they scored, the game became difficult for us.

JORDAN MCENEFF has extended his contract with Arsenal, it has been confirmed.
The attacking midfielder, who turned 20 in January, tweeted confirmation of the news on Sunday evening, while on Instagram his agency paid tribute to former Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker, the Gunners’ current head of youth development.
McEneff has been making good progress at underage level with the Gunners. He is part of their U23 squad this season and was included in the senior team’s 25-man Europa League squad for the knockout stages last month.

JOSE MOURINHO hailed the overall quality of Tottenham’s attack after they put Crystal Palace to the sword with a 4-1 win to move up to sixth in the Premier League table.
Gareth Bale and Harry Kane hit doubles to cancel out Christian Benteke’s equaliser late in the first half and make it five wins in a row for Spurs in all competitions.
A run of three consecutive victories in the top flight have ignited the Lilywhites’ top four hopes and they have scored nine goals during that period.
Mourinho said: “We have very good attacking players and they allow me to do what I did today which was Dele Alli, who played really well against Fulham, to leave him out for Lucas (Moura) this time.
