Chris Sutton slams 'gutless' Everton after heavy Atalanta defeat and calls for travelling fans to get a refund

Chris Sutton launched a blistering attack on Everton after their Europa League campaign got off to the worst possible start in Italy on Thursday night.

Ronald Koeman's side collapsed to a heavy 3-0 defeat at Atalanta, conceding all three goals during a particularly sorry first-half performance.

Coming off the back of a 3-0 loss at home to Spurs at the weekend and a trip to Manchester United on Sunday, it was a disastrous return to European competition for the Toffees.
