Everton lost against Atalanta in the Europa League on Thursday.
Everton’s disappointing start to the 2017-18 campaign continued on Thursday evening, as they went down 3-0 to Atalanta away from home.
The Toffees lost badly to Serie A outfit Atalanta at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia in Italy in their opening Europa League Group E game.
The defeat followed Ronald Koeman’s side’s 3-0 loss at the hands of North London outfit Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park in the Premier League.
