FC Stade Nyonnais 1 – 2 Everton
Everton took on Swiss second-tier side Stade Nyonnais at the Centre Sportif De Colovray in their first pre-season friendly as their week at the training camp on the shores of Lake Geneva winds up.
There were some chances for both sides in the first half but no goals.
Under-21 player Katia Kouyate, 19, opened the scoring after coming on as a half-time sub and he finished superbly off a good pass from Iwobi, hammering the ball into the roof of the net from a decent angle.
Francis Okoronkwo was fouled on a pass from Iwobi for a penalty that was slotted in by Neal Maupay who was then substituted, with Cannon and McNeil returning to the field along with Ryan Astley, Reece Welch and Billy Creillin replacing Virginia in goal.
Near the end, Crellin was beaten by a superb first-time volley after Hunt failed to clear the ball. And that’s how it ended with a win for Everton.
Everton: Virginia (72′ Crellin), Godfrey (72′ Astley), Tarkowski (46′ Doucoure), Keane (72′ Welch), Patterson (46′ Hunt), Iwobi (72′ McNeil), Gana (46′ Kouyate), Warrington, McNeil (46′ Onyango), Maupay (72′ Cannon), Cannon (46′ Okoronkwo).
