Everton U18s come back to draw at Derby County
Derby County U18s 3 - 3 Everton U18s
Everton U18s travelled to Derby County Football Academy where they came back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 in the U18 Premier League with a hat-trick from Martin Sherif.
They missed the chance to go above rivals Liverpool last week, albeit with a creditable 2-2 draw away from home, and remain firmly midtable in a slew of 8 clubs separated by just 2 points or fewer.
A couple of new names appearing for the first time at this level: Eric Hanbury, George Morgan and Harrison Armstrong, with Kieran Driscoll in charge of the team as Leighton Baines was called up with Paul Tait to take first-team training last week after the removal of Frank Lampard.
Derby went ahead in the first half and increased their lead in the second half to 3-0 before Everton struck through Sherif.
After the new names, Morgan and Armstrong were subbed in, Sherif got his second goal from the spot but it was in the 88th minute. However, Sherif wanted that hat-trick and he got it with a tying goal in the 4th minute of added time.
Everton U18s: Hanbury, Wilson, Metcalfe (46' Maher), Wright [Y:15'] (66' Smikle-James), Butler, O Samuels-Smith, Coughlan (80' Morgan), Beaumont-Clark, Heath, Cahill [Y:70'] (80' Armstrong [Y:89']), Sherif.

Michael, Eric Hanbury was on a ‘youth loan‘ to Southampton last season, then on loan to Bradford playing with their U19s. Now with us. Maybe this is a youth loan as well?
He is from Holland, with a very English-sounding name.

Where did you hear about him joining Everton? Do we know when this happened?

Derby Twitter has “ A sublime fingertip save from Eail Hanbury denies us a fourth.“ Seems they are calling him 'Eail', but knowing us we supplied a handwritten team sheet and it's really 'Eric'. If Eric Hanbury had a Scholarship at Man Utd then we would have signed him on a pro contract to get him.
George Morgan has been on the bench before but no minutes before today, he's a Wales U16 player, supposedly highly regarded apparently.

I just hope we get two or three decent players out of this squad. I expected them to have done a lot better than they have done this season.
