Everton's Top four hopes have been severely dented as they suffered another defeat to Southampton at the St Mary's stadium at lunch time kick off. The Toffees, already a point adrift of Arsenal in the race for fourth place, were behind after 54
seconds when Antolin Alcaraz headed home
Rickie Lambert's awkward left-wing cross.
And with Saints on top, Seamus Coleman headed another own goal to make it 2-0.
Everton will be four points behind Arsenal Should The Gunners beat Newcastle on Monday night. However, Toffees Boss Roberto Martinez believes that his side were unlucky and the battle for fourth place is not over yet. "We needed that goal," he told Sky Sports. "We had a couple of chances for Lukaku in the second half and for me it was a penalty on Leon Osman.
"There were key moments when we needed that little bit of luck. It could have been a different ending if we had got that goal."
ARE EVERTON'S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AMBITIONS OVER OR WILL THEY FIGHT BACK?
