Everton U21s hammer RB Leipzig to top their group | OneFootball

Everton U21s 5 - 1 RB Leipzig U21s

Everton U21s hammered RB Leipzig U21s in the final group game of the Premier League International Cup at Goodison Park on Tuesday night..

Everton go top od Group A but ahead of Real Madrid after they secured an excellent win tonight.

But a number of the better players from Everton's U21 side have gone out on loan for the second half of the season -- Will Tamen, Francis Okoronkwo and George Finney -- making tonight's task that bit more difficult. It remains to be seen if Reece Welch and Eli Campbell can be spared from their first-team bench-sitting duties to get a run out.

The U21s are at home tonight v RB Leipzig — can't get to see it unless you're a member.

I'm not interested in going although I'll be at the Ipswich game in the FA Youth Cup if they announce it in time!

Olayiwola got the first and Graham got the other two, the first a screamer of a shot with his weaker left foot. Dixon makes his first appearance of the season I think, the defence made a cock up of the opponents goal..

Now 5-1, Welch got the 4th. and Loney scored his first U21’s goal for the fifth.

The team was— Pickford,Dixon.Welch, Campbell,Van Schoor, Bates,Akarakiri, Boakye, Olayiwola, Grahamand Benjamin.

SubsLukjanciks, Thomas and Samuels —Smith.

That Olayiwola needs watching I think he has just signed his first professional contract and Graham needs no introduction to a lot of Bluenoses.

Dave, good to see Dixon back, hasn’t played all season?

Ian (I’ve only seen snatches of him but he has scored or assisted in those games, a tricky centre midfielder with excellent ball controll with an eye for a good pass, only just turned 17 he has graduated quickly into the U 21’s, and Imthink he was on the bench for the

Sunderland cup tie or Wolves league game but being honest there wasn’t many players left to use as subs.

Christy (5) That’s me making the assumption Dixon hasn’t played this season through injury.

Just seen the first two goals on GrandOldTeam, a slick goal from Malik Olayiwola, what a song you could make out of that name.

Then Braiden Graham's first goal where he ran from the half way line and lashed the ball home from the edge of the penalty area with his weaker left foot — a cracker!
