Everton U21s 1 – 1 Arsenal U21s
Everton U21s finish a busy week with a home draw against Arsenal U21s in Premier League 2 – their last match for almost a month.
They have a long break in the fixture list ahead of them before they play Athletic in the Premier League International Cup at Walton Hall Park in the last week of October.
Katia Kouyate had a tremendous opportunity to score in the first minute but he took the wrong option from close range and tried to beat the keeper high rather than slotting it low and hit the bar!
Okoronkwo had a chance too but he tried a chip rather than striking the ball with power. Metcalfe then fired in from 25 yards but a routine save for the Arsenal keeper.
Arsenal went ahead after the break but the Blues got a late goal through Bradley Moonan to secure a point.
Everton U21s: Crellin, Dixon, Hunt, Astley (65′ Moonan), Campbell, Butterfield, John (46′ Heath), Onyango (80′ Higgins), Okoronkwo (91′ J Patterson), Metcalfe, Kouyate.
Subs not Used: Barrett.
