Everton’s man of the moment Tom Cannon fired a blank for the Blues’ Under-21s side as they suffered last-gasp heartache at Birmingham City in the Premier League Cup. Cannon netted the winner for Paul Tait’s side at Goodison Park on Wednesday night as they struck twice in stoppage time to come from behind a beat Nigel Clough’s Mansfield Town 2-1 in the Papa John’s Trophy.
The goal followed up the 19-year-old’s first senior strike in Everton’s 5-1 thrashing of Western Sydney Wanderers in the Sydney Super Cup after coming off the bench in both of the Blues’ fixtures at Bournemouth prior to the World Cup break. However, the tables were turned on Everton U21s after their late success against the Stags as a scrappy affair at Nuneaton Borough was heading towards a goalless stalemate when Birmingham substitute Trevan Sanusi squeezed his 92 nd minute shot past substitute goalkeeper Jack Barrett and into the bottom corner of the net.
