Not many expected Everton to lose this Sunday, the 24th of the Premier League. Not even the most optimistic Fulham fans have bet on a victory for their relegated team, home to “toffee”, who are trying to enter the top five in the standings and thus qualify for competitions at the end. of the season.
The 0-2 of the “cottages” at Goodison Park was a cold water wash for those led by Carlo Ancelotti, who drew 3-3 with Manchester United at Old Trafford and drew 1-1 at Leeds.
But being local again was a downfall. And it is that in his own stadium, where his star James Rodríguez plays best, things did not work as expected in the Premier.
Thus, the defeat with Fulham became the fourth consecutive game at Goodison Park without being able to win. They already lost to Newcastle (0-2) and West Ham (0-1) and drew 1-1 with Leicester City.
As of December 19, 2020, Everton have not won at home for the Premier League. That day, they defeated Arsenal 2-1 (date 14).
In addition, Everton completed 240 minutes without scoring on their stadium. The last goal was scored by James Rodríguez against Leicester on the 20th, a 1-1 draw. And since December 12, 2020, no game passes without scoring a goal at Goodison Park, 1-0 with Chelsea (date 12) being the last game in which he scored his goal at home for the English League.
