Everton's Under-21s kicked off their pre-season friendlies with a a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Watched by Roberto Martinez, the Blues were the dominant force for much of the contest but just could not quite create a clear cut chance that their play deserved.

The likes of Ben McLaughlin, Ibou Touray and George Green were all handed starts in a youthful side but it was the visitors to Forest's training ground who made the brighter start.

Not 10 minutes had elapsed before Hallam Hope and Conor McAleny had fashioned chances, and it set the tone for the first half. The pair would both squander further opportunities, while Green fired wide from distance.

After the break however, Forest grew into the contest, tightening up at the back and testing Mason Springthorpe on a couple of occasions. In the end though, the score remained goalless as the contest fizzled out into a 0-0 stalemate.

Everton U21s: Springthorpe, McLaughlin, Touray, Grant, Browning, Pennington, Kennedy, Junior, Hope, McAleny, Green.
