Maybe he's a creature of light (a different light). Maybe they only just met. Maybe they loved each other for eons.

Eärendil took part in the battle. His ship Vingilótë was blessed by the Valar, filled with a shining white flame, and sent to the skies. He sailed at its helm with the Silmaril bound upon his brow. Alongside Thorondor and the Eagles, he slew the great dragon Ancalagon the Black and cast his body down onto Thangorodrim.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAncalagon is one of most fearsome creatures in the whole of Tolkien's Legendaium, yet he's mentioned only very briefly as the greatest of Morgoth's dragons, and his most dreadful and final weapon in the War of Wrath.  The battle between Eärendil and Ancalagon is the merest sketch in the Silmarillion, but, vsually, it has the same power as Gandalf, holding his blazing staff, alone on the bridge of Khazad Dum, facing the winged, fiery shadow of the Balrog. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen designing this piece I had to make some difficult choices.

Personally I think it was not a feat of physical strength. I believe the light of the silmaril did it. Ages after, the same light, caught in Galadriel's phial, wounded Shelob with \"an infection of light\". I think the purity of the crystallised light of the Two Trees before the fall broke Ancalagon's black heart from the inside out.
