Everton pair praised by manager after shining during 'magnificent' Brighton win

Everton Under-21s manager Paul Tait praised Kyle John and Ishe Samuels-Smith for the roles they played in his side’s magnificent win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

After a 3-2 victory over Southampton on Wednesday afternoon, Tait’s side made it back-to-back wins with a 2-1 victory over Shannon Ruth’s side on Sunday evening. The young Blues came from behind at the Elite Football Performance Centre.

Samy Chouchane fired the hosts ahead after 11 minutes before Kyle John and Mackenzie Hunt struck in the second-half to secure Tait’s side all three points. John also played a key role in Hunt’s winner seven minutes from time.
