Stockport County 6 – 3 Everton U21s

Everton U21s were hit for six by Stockport County at Edgely Park on Tuesday evening in their first EFL Trophy game this season.

The Everton youngsters didn’t have a great first half, givng up three goals by the break. 

Stockport were playing through a half-hearted press with ease and then pressing aggressively themselves, leaving Everton with long balls up to Graham and Loney.  Matos put himself about and Pickford had some decent saves but that’s was about it.
 
But Everton came out after the break and appeared to have gotten back into the game with three goals of their own to level it up.
 
Joel Catesby (52′) first buried a great cross from Graham. Matos was then fouled running in on goal and Braiden Graham then converted a penalty. The Young Evertonians drew level when Braiden Graham got their third, stealing the ball off a defender and finishing superbly.  
 
But the last quarter-hour of the game proved their undoing with three more goals conceded to end up on the wrong side of a 6-3 mauling. 
 

Everton U21s: G Pickford, Finney, Tamen, Gardner (81′ Thomas), Van Schoor [Y:76′], Foster, Brookes (56′ J Patterson [Y:71′]), Graham,  Matos (82′ Nsangou), Loney (82′ Benjamin) Catesby (69′ Clarke).

Subs not Used: Lukjanciks, Lambert.
