Ancelotti: We should be embarrassed

Carlo Ancelotti says that both he and his players need to take responsibility for what he says was Everton's worst performance yet at home this season.
With a place in the Europa League still within their grasp if results elsewhere go their way over the last two or three matches of the season, the Blues knew they had to beat already-relegated Sheffield United this evening but Ancelotti's charges wilted once again in the face of a must-win situation, falling to a horrible 1-0 defeat.
Though Allan, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin forced good saves from Aaron Ramsdale, in the end all that was needed to overcome an Everton team that was, on paper, practically at full strength was a seventh-minute goal by Daniel Jebbison, a teenager who has spent the season playing in the sixth tier of English football.
