Manchester City U18s 2 – 1 Everton U18s
Everton U18s lost narrowly at the City Academy on Saturday morning when Manchester City came back after Olayiwola scored the opening goal.
The team’s form has improved slightly while a number of new names have been elevated to to this level from lower in the Academy. They currently sit in 5th place with 19 points in the U18 Premier League North, with today’s opponents leading on 27 points.
And another new name on the bench today: Levi Okorie
The Young Blues kept the high-flying Citizens at bay all through the first half and past the hour mark before Malik Olayiwola put them ahead. But they were pegged back inside 5 minutes and then went behind to a penalty conceded. And that’s how it finished.
Everton U18s: Lukjanciks [Y:42′], Matos, Poland, Evans, McEveley, Akarakiri, Stewart (61′ Robert), Olayiwola, Loney, Pita, Wren.
Subs not Used: Patrick, Billington, Adud, Okorie.
