Only Carlo Ancelotti failed to see the funny side as Djibril Sidibe's introduction as a substitute against Crystal Palace was delayed as he had forgotten one of his socks.
.
An injury to Theo Walcott forced Ancelotti into an early change during the first half and he told Sidibe to get himself ready.
.
As the 27-year-old sorted himself out and stood next to the fourth official ready to come on, he reached down to pull his socks up, only to discover his left sock was nowhere to be found.
Hilarity ensued for supporters who had noticed Sidibe's mistake but Ancelotti was not impressed at the delay in the substitution.
The wide player made a quick dash back to the dressing room to solve the mystery of the missing sock and he was then able to enter the fray.
Unlike Ancelotti, fans saw the funny side, given they were 1-0 up at the time after a strong start at Goodison Park.
Although, Everton defeated Palace 3-1 despite Christian Benteke equaliser in the 51st minutes to cancel Berand opener.
But seven minutes after, Richarlison scored before Calvert Lewin goal in the 88th minutes ensured the Toffees remain unbeaten in eleven games since Ancelotti appointment as gaffer.
