Everton produced a dreadful performance as they lost their Europa League opener against Atalanta in Italy.
The home side dominated from the outset, taking the lead when Everton failed to deal with a corner, with the ball ricocheting off Phil Jagielka's hip and falling to Andrea Masiello to poke in.
Alejandro Gomez doubled the lead with a stunning curling strike, before Bryan Cristante drove through the Toffees' defence and placed the ball into the corner, with Everton 3-0 down at half-time.
It was more of the same from Atalanta in the second half, minus the goals, with Andrea Petagna hitting the woodwork after being set up by former Middlesbrough midfielder Marten de Roon.
Ronald Koeman's Everton have now lose 3-0 in two consecutive games
Before the match, Ronald Koeman said he was taking the Europa League "very seriously". He also said Everton were "too nice" as they were beaten 3-0 at home by Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Dutchman made six changes from that defeat, but his team failed to show the intent and aggression the manager craved, with their performance arguably worse than that against Spurs.
What next for the Toffees?
After back-to-back 3-0 defeats, Everton face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday (16:00 BST).
The match will see Rooney return to Old Trafford, while striker Romelu Lukaku will face his old club for the first time since joining Manchester United from Everton in July.
With Everton failing to replace the Belgian in the transfer window, Lukaku could well show Koeman the goalscoring prowess they have been missing this season.
