Everton under-21s assistant coach Keith Southern believes his side will have no problem bouncing back after exiting the Premier League Cup at the hands of Bristol City.
Young Blues boss Paul Tait opted to freshen things up for the game, with Jack Barrett, Isaac Heath, Einar Iversen and Liam Higgins all coming into his side. However, Tait’s men got off to the worst possible start.
Just a minute was on the clock when Marlee Francois went down inside the box, with referee Robert Massey-Ellis having no hesitation in pointing to the spot. Seb Palmer-Houlden converted from 12-yards before Sam Pearson added a second for the Robins eight minutes later.
