'I didn't disrespect the referee' - Ancelotti defends confrontation following late VAR disallowed goal

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has defended his conduct after earning a red card in a frantic finish to his side's 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Saturday.

The Goodison Park faithful were given some early cheer when Dominic Calvert-Lewin sent them into the lead with a freak goal.

David de Gea sent his clearance straight into the young striker just three minutes in, with the deflection spiralling into the Spaniard's net.

United hit back through Bruno Fernandes, who fired home on the half hour to send the two teams into the break level.
