CARLO ANCELOTTI will miss Everton’s next Premier League game against Chelsea after being SENT OFF for after full-time in his side’s draw with Manchester United.
The Toffees thought they’d stolen a last-gasp winner as Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s effort was deflected in by Harry Maguire.

Sigurdsson was in an offside position as De Gea was beaten
But the goal was ruled out by VAR, with officials deeming Gylfi Sigurdsson, lying on the floor near David De Gea to be interfering with play in an offside position.
Calvert-Lewin’s strike took a huge deflection, with De Gea seemingly flat-footed and standing no chance of recovering as the ball trickled over the line.
But VAR saw it differently, with Sigurdsson in an offside position and seemingly obstructing Man Utd stopper De Gea – whose howler gifted the hosts the lead early on in the game.
Everton’s players were left absolutely seething, with their Italian boss clearly disgusted in his technical area.
After the final whistle blew, Ancelotti stormed onto the field of play to remonstrate with the match officials.
But referee Chris Kavanagh was having none of it, reaching into his top pocket to grab his red card and point towards the dressing room.
Ancelotti will now be banned for at least one game – against Chelsea next weekend.
Everton were ultimately forced to settle for a 1-1 draw after Bruno Fernandes cancelled out Calvert-Lewin’s opener in the first-half.
