Everton head coach Carlo Ancelotti saw his unbeaten run with the Toffees come to an end against the reigning Premier League champions.

A number of Everton fans have been commenting on Twitter about their Premier League defeat on New Year’s Day and the performance of Yerry Mina for the Goodison Park side came under scrutiny.

The Toffees took on reigning champions Manchester City and were put to the sword at the Etihad Stadium as Gabriel Jesus netted twice for Pep Guardiola’s side, which boasted 65 percent possession and weighed in with 16 shots, seven on target (BBC Sport).

Although Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical tweaks enabled Everton to launch an offensive and get a goal back through Richarlison – opposition goalkeeper Claudio Bravo having underhit a pass to set up the Brazilian – it would end the Italian’s unbeaten start in the Goodison hotseat.

Mina was decent enough against Jesus in the first half but couldn’t keep it up after the interval, being caught out on a couple of occasions by the Brazilian, while at the other end he spurned several chances from corners.

Here is some of the social media reaction from the Everton fanbase to the 25-year-old’s display:
