Fans of Everton have shown their love for footage of Carlo Ancelotti from the clash with Manchester United on Sunday which was posted to social media.
The video, originally posted by @benjwinstanley, was shared to supporters by @EvertonNewsFeed which appeared to show the 60-year-old Italian being guided back to his technical area by Duncan Ferguson after an altercation, which supporters loved.

Do you like to see that level of passion from Carlo Ancelotti or was it a bit too much?Too much, he should have remained calmI like it, it just shows how much he cares |
Following the clash with the Red Devils, the former Real Madrid manager has been charged with misconduct, but, that was due to his behaviour towards match officials after the full-time whistle (per Everton).
However, supporters continued to air their love for the footage which appeared to show the Toffees’ Scottish assistant manager having to calm down the club’s gaffer.
???? Dunc playing peacemaker ?? how times change!

Great work there Duncan. Diffusing the situation was important. @EvertonBlueArmy .

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses of Everton supporters, it is clear to see that they love that their Italian gaffer was showing so much passion for his side during the tie.
However, as that passion during an incident later in the game has resulted in a charge of misconduct (per Everton), it may be better to pick and choose when to show that spirit to avoid any punishment.
