No alarm bells yet – Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti refused to press the alarm bells after Chelsea’s winless run stretched to four matches following Saturday's 3-3 draw with Everton. "Who can say we are in crisis?" asked Ancelotti afterwards. "I don't think so. I want to be objective and when I look at the game and the way we played I saw that my team played very well.” The Italian will however want to sort out the club’s messy defending with all three Everton goals arriving courtesy of their inability to defend set-pieces. "We didn't win because of mistakes at set-pieces. But we played very well for 90 minutes with intensity and good concentration. We created a lot of chances to score and were unlucky today.” The draw did however extend their lead over second placed Manchester United to three points. The Red Devils suffered a shock 1-0 loss to Aston Villa on Saturday.
