Everton Under-21 manager Paul Tait hailed Stanley Mills for his delicately-placed goal in the Mini Merseyside Derby but admitted his side need to learn from their wastefulness in taking their chances as Liverpool fought back to snatch a 1-1 draw at Southport’s Haig Avenue.
Mills put the Blues in front just 13 minutes into the contest but after missing a raft of opportunities to extend their lead, they had left-back Ishe Samuels-Smith – like Mills an unused substitute in the first team’s 3-1 home defeat to Fulham on Saturday – sent off for a foul on Ben Doak and conceded a last-minute equaliser from Reds substitute Max Woltman. Tait told the ECHO: “He’s an excellent finisher Stan, he makes really good runs to get in behind and can finish with both feet, that was his left foot, his weak foot, and he’s lobbed the keeper. He probably should have scored again and he’s certainly a threat.”
