Everton fell to a 2-0 away defeat against Fulham on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League – and some of the club’s supporters ripped defender Phil Jagielka to shreds for his performance.

The Toffees went into the weekend on the back of three consecutive wins in the league, but that came to a halt against a Fulham team that have already been relegated from the top flight.

Tom Cairney and Ryan Babel scored second-half goals for the visitors at Craven Cottage, as they inflicted the first defeat on the Merseyside club since losing to Newcastle in early March.

Marco Silva’s team were nowhere near their best away to Fulham and once again the inconsistency that has plagued their season came back to bite them.

Everton stuck with the same team that beat Arsenal in the previous game, but they were unable to replicate that level of display.

Veteran defender Jagielka continued in the heart of the backline and struggled at times against Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The 36-year-old centre-back rolled back the years with the winner against Arsenal, but the weekend was a step too far for him and many fans feel that Michael Keane was the obvious man to replace him in the XI.
