Everton crashed out of the Carabao cup last night against Manchester United after 2-0 loss at Goodson Park and the Merseyside boss said they have no regrets after been knocked out.
Carlo Ancelotti would have been expecting is side to move straight into penalty before two late goals from Edison Cavani and substitute Anthony Martial cancel the thought.
“We were good defensively until the end and were close to penalties” said Ancelotti
“They had more control and quality, we know this.
“We are disappointed, of course, it was an important competition for us,”.
“But there are no regrets with the performance.
The result ends Everton’s three-game winning run but Ancelotti found little fault in a performance designed to stifle Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team.
“It was a good performance, we defended well, properly.
“We had a difficult start but after 20 minutes the game was under control.
“We didn’t play attacking football but we needed to defend and until the last three minutes we defended well.
“The plan was to defend well and we did, we had some opportunities with set-pieces and counter-attacks.
“That was the game we planned.”
Everton, who beat Chelsea, Leicester City and Arsenal in successive Premier League games before losing to Ole’s side last night will aim to improve on their fifth position when they travel Sheffield United on Boxing Day.
