A good counter-attack saw Jacob Beaumont-Clark strike the opening goal after 35 minutes.

It was competitive after that, with Chelsea having a goal disallowed and Braiden Graham having to go off injured as the Young Blues had to endure something of an onslaught, Chelsea hitting the post in 9 minutes of added time.

Everton U21s: Pickford, Davis [Y:17'] (71' Akarakiri), Van Schoor, Welch (61' Thomas), Tamen, Campbell, Beaumont-Clark, Gomez, Morgan (61' Ebere), Bates, Graham (89' Boakye).

If it's not already been noted, Everton Under-21s are in the Premier League International Cup tournament. First game at Goodison Park on 3 December.

Everton's under-21 side took over Walton Hall Park from the women's team, but with continental opponents on the way, they will be heading to Goodison, because it has the facilities to cater to a competition of this magnitude.

The U21s will be participating in the Premier League International Cup, involving Category One academy teams against their peers across Europe.

Since it is a Premier League enterprise, all games will be played on English soil, which gives Goodison a chance to host some of the biggest teams on the continent.

The competition will see the Evertonians play three fixtures in December on the hallowed Goodison turf, starting with Real Madrid, with an additional match in January.

Kingsford Boakye on the bench... I don't recall seeing much of him so far this season.

Must have been injured, I guess?

Van Schoor having a good game — hope he continues to play and improve there’s room for a good left back at Everton.

A lot of injury time added on there, just saw the goal a very good one, amending my assessment of Graham's pass, it was a good one but Beaumont-Clark had a lot to do when receiving it but finished it well, a lot of injury time added on in the game.
