Carlo Ancelotti admits Everton are 'not at the same level' as Chelsea as he claims 'they deserved to win' after Toffees' Champions League hopes took a setback with defeat in London

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted his side had been second best all night during their defeat at Chelsea as their top four hopes took a big hit.

Ben Godfrey's own goal and a second half penalty from Jorginho consigned Everton to a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge, leaving them four points adrift of Chelsea in fourth but with a match in hand still.

Chelsea dominated throughout the Premier League encounter and could have won by a bigger margin, with Kai Havertz also having a goal ruled out in the second half for handball.
