Jamie Carragher hails Carlo Ancelotti as Everton's 'man of the match' from their Merseyside derby win over Liverpool... and praises him for 'taking the emotion' out of the match at Anfield

Jamie Carragher heaped praise on Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti following their Merseyside derby victory over rivals Liverpool on Saturday.

The Toffees ended a torrid 22-year spell without a victory at Anfield in the Premier League with a 2-0 win thanks to an early goal from Richarlison and a late Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty.

The result dealt a huge blow to Jurgen Klopp's side, who are now without a win in six matches at home and are on course for one of the worst Premier League title defences in recent history.
