Wolves U21s 4 – 2 Everton U21s
Everton U21s were well beaten at the Aggborough Stadium on Friday night when taking on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League 2.
Nathan Patterson featured again, playing at right-back in place of Roman Dixon, as he builds up his match fitness after being sidelined for most of the past 6 months.
The Young Blues fell behind after 20 minutes, Leban unable to stop a header. And they went further behind after Patterson gave away a dangerous free-kick which was far too easily converted.
Things didn’t improve in the second half when Wolves increased their lead inside 30 seconds – another shocking goal to give up! And Jack Butler lasted just 3 minutes as a second-half sub.
After an unstoppable fourth goal, Everton finally hit back through Charlie Whitaker who also grabbed a second consolation at the death.
Everton U21s: Leban, N Patterson [Y:23′], Heath, Samuels-Smith, Tierney, Thomas (46′ Butler (51′ Barker)), Beaumont-Clark, Butterfield [Y:16′], Benjamin (88′ Morgan), Bates (79′ J Patterson), Whitaker.
Subs not Used: Barnsley.
