Carlo Ancelotti said he wanted to make history with Everton after becoming the first manager to lead the club to victory over Liverpool at Anfield since 1999.
The Italian was full of praise for Jordan Pickford, his team’s defending and their clinical finishing as Everton ended a miserable run at Anfield. Ancelotti believes the performance showed his team can compete with the leading lights of the Premier League but must be replicated at Goodison Park, where Everton have won four league games this season compared with eight away.

Steph Houghton hopes she leaves the game “in a better place than when I started” and few could disagree that she has achieved just that.
The significant contribution she made will be recognised far beyond her 2016 MBE for achievements in women’s football.
After she announced that this season will be her last as a player, current Manchester City coach Gareth Taylor described her as “without question, an icon of the game”, while England wrote: “From leading the Lionesses to growing the women’s game – your impact will never be forgotten. A true icon.”
I ve given absolutely everything I can, but I am looking forward to a new challenge

Here we are again, another transfer deadline day that is expected to be a highly busy one with many teams up and down the country trying to strengthen their squads ahead of today’s 5 PM deadline.
On this page, we will update you on the deals that have happened in the last 24 hours, the deals that are close and of course the rumoured deals.
Done deals
The day before transfer deadline day is famous for seeing a flurry of activity. This window has been no different with some major deals concluded, much of the activity surrounding Chelsea.
The Blues completed an extraordinary deal to sign Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga joined from Athletic Bilbao for a fee in the region of £71.6million, a world record fee for a goalkeeper.
Kepa arrived to replace B…
The reverse of this fixture back in November saw Sunderland s last victory in the Premier League, which Arsenal will want to avenge, particularly given their disappointing performance against Porto in the Champions League in midweek.
Arsenal will be kicking themselves after what has been a poor run over the last few weeks by their high standards. Losing to Porto in the Champions League thanks to two glaring goalkeeping errors will have caused cancerns for Arsene Wenger, particularly as he conceded recently that he declined investment in the squad in January despite generous offers from the board. There is a clear lack of confidence between the sticks for Arsenal this season, and whoever gets the nod in the Sunderland game will hope for a quiet afternoon. The return of Sol Campb…
This clash is really Liverpool s last chance to stake a claim for Champions league football this year, but they will have their work cut out against a Chelsea side who really need to win this match to maintain their push for the premier league title.
Liverpool s chances in this match will also be hampered by the fact that they will have played three days earlier in the second leg of their Europa League semi final second leg match against Athletico Madrid. Benitez also has real selection problems up front with Torres ruled out, and Ngog and Kuyt both doubtful for the games ahead. One piece of fortune for the Anfield outfit is the return to form of Steven Gerrard. After riding serious allegations about his personal life in recent weeks, Gerrard has come out the other side firing …
Harry Kane may have suffered an untimely injury, but England boss Gareth Southgate could well be blessed with a wealth of attacking options heading into Euro 2020.
Kane s hamstring injury should not see him miss the European Championship, but it has handed plenty of England hopefuls the chance to prove their worth.
And it seems as though this season, the Premier League belongs to homegrown forwards.
Jamie Vardy – who has retired from international duty – leads the way with 17 goals, ahead of three players sharing second place in the scoring charts with 14: Danny Ings, Marcus Rashford and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Arsenal striker Aubameyang is one of only four non-English players to take their place in the Premier League s list of leading scorers as t…
Wigan produced one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history when they beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley, on this day in 2013.
Ben Watson’s late header clinched a fairytale win for the Latics, who won their first major trophy just 35 years after becoming a Football League club.
Roberto Mancini’s big-spending City, who won the FA Cup in 2011, were overwhelming favourites having been crowned Premier League champions in 2012.
The Latics were in the Premier League’s bottom three and were given little chance after beating Bournemouth, Macclesfield, Huddersfield, Everton and Millwall to earn their chance of glory.
But manager Roberto Martinez said: “We all know Manchester City are the major favourites, and rightly so. But there are many examples of majo…
