Everton’s hopes of Champions League football are all but over after they were held at Reading on Sunday.
In truth, it could have been worse for Willie Kirk’s side who, for 45 minutes, looked a shadow of the team who started the season so strongly.

But that defeat and a number of injuries to key players has taken its toll in the last few months, with just one win in nine League games, which is not the form of European contenders.
