Everton U18s suffer narrow defeat to Stoke City

Everton U18s 2 - 3 Stoke City U18s

Everton U18s had a tough time on Saturday at Finch Farm, losing narrowly to Stoke City by the odd goal in five.

The Young Blues were stunned to find themselves 0-3 inside 25 minutes but did their best to engineer a comeback, falling narrowly short in the end.

They finally got a goal back on the hour mark through a cool finish from substitute Amari Moses, and Harlow McEveley then headed home from a corner with 15 minutes left. But it wasn't enough.

And to rub salt in, Harry Brookes was sent off in the final minute of stoppage time for a bad challenge.

Everton U18s: Patrick, Madueke (55' Boggan), Billington, Evans [Y], McEveley, Matos [Y], Brookes [R:90+4'], Murdock (55' Stewart), Loney, Doughty, Nsangou (55' Moses).

Subs not Used: McDermott, Aduda.
