Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti insists his side are still in the hunt for European football but accepts their failure to finish off Crystal Palace has cost them. Eagles substitute Michy Batshuayi scored an 86th-minute equaliser two minutes after coming off the bench to cancel out James Rodriguez’s 100th goal in European club football on his return after a six-week absence in the 1-1 draw at Goodison Park. “The reason (for the result) was we were not able to kill the game when we had the opportunity,” Ancelotti said. Roy Hodgson was pleased to see Michy Batshuayi on the scoresheet (Clive Brunskill/PA)“He scored a goal, which was important. He has to be very pleased with that and we are pleased with it,” Hodgson said.
