Australian Evertonians get unique Z-cars rendition as damning familiar statistic paints false picture

Everton clinched the Sydney Super Cup in a game that was more entertaining than the goalless scoreline suggested.

The makeshift side faced familiar issues up top but still created more than the statistic of no shots on target indicates, though it was also reliant on Asmir Begovic's brilliance at the other end. Frank Lampard later said he was pleased with "elements" of the Blues' display - though he added the circumstances of the game, with some players still feeling jetlag and injuries and international duty forcing him to play some key men out of position, meant there was only a limited amount he could learn from it.

One positive he could take was the performances of the Under-21s he gave an opportunity to. Their displays are among some of these moments that may have been missed from Everton's win in the headline match of the competition Down Under.
