Everton U18s 3 - 2 Liverpool U18s
Kean Wren celebrates scoring the third goal that beat Liverpool U18s at Finch Farm
It's a very late micro-derby victory for Everton U18s on Saturday as they came from behind to defeat Liverpool in added time.
And the Reds took an early lead after just 9 minutes, but the young Blues were right back in it after 20 minutes when that man Braiden Graham popped in the equalizer. However, the local rivals took the lead again before the break.
That's the way it stayed until the 90 minutes were up, despite a slew of second-half subs… but added time provided redemption for the Young Blues with first Aled Thomas and then Kean Wren getting very late goals to condemn the Reds to a very welcome defeat.
Everton U18s: Lukjanciks, Finney, Van Schoor (84' Wren), Davis, Thomas, Gardner (62' Poland), Clarke, Olayiwola (62' Loney), Morgan, Graham [Y:16'], Catesby (62' Matos).
Subs not Used: Patrick.

Get that young Graham training with the first team to show them how to put it in the net, a natural goalscorer
He'll get me out on a freezin' cold winter night when the U18s play in the FA Youth Cup.

Mark your calendar for 11 December: Everton vs Nottingham Forest in the FA Youth Cup Third Round. Will it be at Goodison? They seem to have relaxed that rule…

Only 16 but rated by some. I've never seen him, have you any information on him, Michael?

And a significant "foot forward " from the next generation into our bright, new future.

It looks like Malik Olayiwola has had a handful of games over the last year… pretty slow starter by the looks of it, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.
I thought we had an article about him signing on but it doesn't show on Google Search… and I'm way behind on my Player Profiles.

The score remained the same heading into the final stages of the contest until centre-back Aled Thomas popped up with a 91st-minute leveller. And the Toffees' celebrations weren't done there when – in what has become a welcome habit of late comebacks for the Under18s this season – Kean Wren slotted home a winner five minutes into added-time to secure a memorable victory.
From the horse's mouth…

Whoever scored against them it is highly appreciated especially when it goes towards a win!

And somebody needs to go back to school — see what you make of the penultimate paragraph in the Echo's report on the game…

Signs of good scouting as the first two were bought in this summer. Let's hope the club can develop them well. With finances tight and a load of the first team squad leaving this summer we could use some players from the academy able to step up over next few years.

It looks like George Morgan scored that goal after all, I think your horse talks double Dutch!
