U21s beaten by late goal at Leicester
A Chris Wood goal three minutes from time condemned Everton U21s to defeat after Matt Kennedy had hit the bar with a free kick.
The Blues' second string had the better of the game and created the better chances, Courtney Duffus even putting the ball in the net in the first half, only to have it chalked off for offside.
But after Kennedy had rattled the woodwork following a foul on David Henen, Wood struck.
Henen came close to a dramatic equaliser in the closing stages when he met Kennedy's cross but Johnny Maddison in the Foxes' goal made an excellent save to deny him.
Everton: Hewelt, Jones, Kenny, Browning, Connolly, Ledson, Williams, Grant, Long, Henen, Duffus
Subs: Hunt, Kennedy, Dowell, Junior, Langton

A disappointing result but the presence of 1st-teamers Moore and Wood was probably an important factor.
