Ancelotti believes his team were let down by two defensive blemishes and it proved to be the crucial moment in the game.
The visitors took the lead on 27 minutes when striker Harry Kane pounced on Michael Keane's costly defensive header to smash the ball past Hugo, but the hosts articulated a swift response from the penalty spot thanks to Gylfi Sigurdsson after Sergio Reguilon had fouled James Rodriguez in the area.
Ancelotti’s men built on their equalizer to put pressure on Jose Mourinho’s men and finally got their reward when Sigurdsson tapped home his second after a cutback pass from Seamus Coleman midway through the second half.
The Toffees gifted Kane his second six minutes later when a defensive mix-up between Keane and Mason Holgate ricocheted the ball into the path of the 27-year-old, and he rifled an unstoppable volley into the top corner.
"If we made less mistakes in the box we can win the game. Both Michael [Keane] and Mason [Holgate] are used to being comfortable with this kind of ball. We were unlucky with both,” the Italian coach told the media after the game.
"It was one of the best performances we have played here at home. We created the opportunities to win the game.”
“The opponent was really strong and needs points like us. We were active, we pressed forward with intensity and had a good spirit.
“We have lost points but we are still there and we keep fighting for sure. With this kind of performance, we would lose less points."
