Pickford adds to Everton task

- FLEETWOOD

JORDAN PICKFORD’S blunder made for a more uncomforta­ble night than it needed to be for Everton.

Carlo Ancelotti’s team led 2- 0 at the break thanks to two well- taken goals from Richarliso­n, but England goalkeeper Pickford gave Fleetwood encouragem­ent after 47 minutes.

He tried to play out from the back but his pass was charged down and Fleetwood substitute Mark Duffy scored with his first touch.

Alex Iwobi quickly restored Everton’s two- goal lead but Joey Barton’s battlers refused to lie down and Pickford was unable to keep out

Bernard and Moise Kean eased Everton’s anxieties with goals to give them a fourth straight win – something they have not done in domestic matches from the start of a season in the Premier League era.

Unlike the previous round, when he made 10 changes, Ancelotti fielded a strong team with Pickford, Richarliso­n, Michael Keane, Luca Digne and Dominic Calvert- Lewin all in the starting line- up and they can now look forward to a home tie against West Ham.
