Birmingham City U21s 1 – 1 Everton U21s
Everton U21s snatched a draw at the death away at Birmingham City in their penultimate Premier League 2 game of the season at The Knighthead Training and Academy Grounds in Selly Oak on Friday night.
Joel Catesby returned for his first match since recovering from a broken leg he sustained last October, Braiden Graham making way… and replacing him for the second half.
Luca Davis (90′) was the hero in the end, knocking home a goal for the travelling Young Blues in the last minute of normal time. The draw leaves Everton U21s in 18th place in the 29-team PL2 table, and at risk of missing out on qualifying for the Premier League International Cup next season.
Everton U21s: Lukjanciks, Davis, Van Schoor, Welch, Thomas, Bates (90′ Samuels-Smith), Boakye, Akarakiri (70′ Pita), Benjamin, Olayiwola (74′ Gomez), Catesby (45′ Graham).
