Everton under-21s were this evening held to a 1-1 draw against Fulham in the Premier League 2.
Heading into this contest, Everton were led by academy coach Keith Southern after Paul Tait's temporary promotion to first-team duties following the sacking of Frank Lampard.
It was the Blues who took the lead inside the opening five minutes, Katia Kouyate finding the bottom right corner of the opposition goal after a long ball played over the top of the Fulham defence by Kyle John was allowed to bounce before being struck. This represented a first league goal of the season for Kouyate, who agreed a new two-year deal with the Toffees back in September.
