JAKARTA - Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has stated that Everton must patch up the defensive line which often leaks after a narrow 3-2 win against Fulham in a Premier League match on Sunday, November 22.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin's brace and another goal from Abdoulaye Doucoure saw them win 3-2 in that match.

Everton did not concede the last time in a league match on the opening day where they beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 and after that they have conceded 16 goals in eight matches.
They have the worst defensive record alongside city rivals and defending champions Liverpool, who were hosting Leicester City until this news was released.
"For sure we have to improve," Ancelotti told the BBC as quoted by Antara. "We're not that close together, we're not that close to guarding the ranks. We have time to work on this this week."

Ancelotti, who installed three defenders Yerry Mina, Michael Keane and Ben Godfrey, said he was happy his team could maintain their advantage until the match ended.
"We are running out of energy and the players are tired. I changed players to be fresher on the pitch, but we have lost a bit of quality and are just thinking about maintaining the results," said the Italian.

"In the end it worked. The most important part of this match is getting back to winning ways," concluded Ancelotti.
