Yet in his illustrious coaching career for the past 25 years, manager Ancelotti never had to go through a series of four straight league losses for the teams he coached.
In this match, the 61-year-old military leader can use left forward Richarlison after his student is suspended. So the high-quality trio Richarlison vs. Calvert-Lewin vs. James Rodriguez officially reunited, creating Everton’s strongest attack.
Remember that Richarlison may not be “killer” like Calvert-Lewin, nor as smart and creative as James Rodriguez, but he still plays an extremely important role in attack, especially on the word “charm.” According to statistics, in 8 Premier League games since 2018 (when Richarlison joined Everton), the Brazilian forward was absent, Everton failed to win once (4 draws, 4 losses).

Richarlison’s role at Everton was quickly demonstrated after … 42 seconds into the game against Fulham. The forward was born in 1993 to cut through Fulham’s 16m50 area from the left wing and reach in for Calvert-Lewin. The English striker is somewhat clumsy but can still hit the Fulham net from very close range.
Soon with the lead, the game becomes much simpler for Everton. They do not need to attack fast, but instead switch to a more solid kick and wait for the opponent’s escape (forced to put the team to change course) to strike the final blow.
In the 12th minute, Calvert-Lewin turned with Iwobi to the right and was present in the 16m50 area to catch a cross from a teammate, but again, the forward drove rather awkwardly, so goalkeeper Areola was able to intervene briefly. ball. Immediately, Fulham responded and Robinson stretched Decordova-Reid to finish off his left foot, but the ball missed on goal, partly because of bad movement.

In the 18th minute, Fulham’s net vibrated for the second time following Calvert-Lewin’s escape to finish off a sensitive touch, but the referee signaled an offside flag and the slow spin confirmed that the referee had caught correctly. .
A few minutes later, Richarlison won the ball in the midfield area, quickly coordinated with Calvert-Lewin before entering the 16m50 area and then placed a return on his right foot but was unable to beat goalkeeper Areola (jacket) Fulham on loan from PSG).

But only until the 29th minute, Everton went ahead for the second time. Alex Iwobi (used to use Arsenal) directs the ball on the right wing, over three white balls, before passing through the middle to James Rodríguez. Rather than trying to break into the 16m50 area or launch a shot, the Colombian star pushed the ball to the left for Lucas Digne. The former Barça defender calmly passes the murderer to Calvert-Lewin so that he hits the ball and hits the Fulham net.
Everton increased the distance to 2 goals in the 35th minute. Left-back Lucas Digne returned to play the role of “talented constructor” with a precise cross so that Doucoure jumped high and hit the first, scoring the first goal in the color of T-shirt.
