James starred in two of Everton’s touchdowns. He retired at minute 73. About his performance and his departure he spoke DT Carlo Ancelotti.

“Both James and Richarlison left because of the fatigue they brought from their trips and matches with national teams. They came tired and finished even more when I took them out. It is normal coming from the national team break, nothing more,” said the DT.

“With the departure of James and Richarlison we lost some quality in the second half, it is true. The rival had changed the system and we were not being able to take the ball or attack the counter. We were supportive at the back and we were able to take all three points”, added DT, regarding the match in which his team slowed down in the final part. .

He also referred to the role of his attackers. “We have a lot of quality forward and we play very well with it. Our players are efficient and if you have a scorer like Dominic Calvert-Lewin everything becomes a little easier,” he said.
