Jordan Pickford reveals what Carlo Ancelotti told Everton players before Chelsea match

Everton returned to winning ways last weekend after winning 1-0 against Chelsea at Goodison Park in the Premier League.

A first-half penalty from Gylfi Sigurdsson earned all three points for the Toffees.

The home side rode a bit of luck as well, with Chelsea hitting the woodwork twice.

Jordan Pickford, the Everton goalkeeper, has revealed what Carlo Ancelotti’s message was for the team prior to the game on Saturday.

He says the Italian boss urged everyone to summon the “spirit and fight” which inspired last season’s stirring victory over Chelsea at Goodison Park.
