Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti insists a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the 237th Merseyside derby does not mean they can consider themselves the equals of the defending Premier League champions.

Although twice coming from behind to earn a point, the result extended their winless run against their neighbours to 23 matches, with the game marking the 10th anniversary of their last victory.
