A number of the better players from Everton’s U21 side have gone out on loan for the second half of the season — Will Tamen, Francis Okoronkwo and George Finney — making tonight’s task that bit more difficult on paper. But Reece Welch and Eli Campbell returned from their first-team bench-warming duties to get a run out.
Roman Dixon made his long-awaited return from a serious but unspecified injury that kept him out since last April; he was withdrawn at the break, with Everton leading 3-1 after excellent goals from Malik Olayiwola and Braiden Graham with a brace.
Everton remained sold in the second half, with late goals from Reece Welch and Ceiran Loney.
Pickford, Dixon (46′ Samuels-Smith), Van Schoor (82′ Thomas), Welch, Campbell, Bates, Boakye, Akarakiri (72′ Gomez), Benjamin (86′ Loney), Olayiwola (72′ Pita), Graham.
