Everton under-21s maintained their perfect Premier League International Cup record with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb at Walton Hall Park on Wednesday night.
After an uneventful opening 45 minutes, Paul Tait’s side picked up the pace in the second-half and deservedly took the lead when Francis Okoronkwo turned home Liam Higgins’ cross seven minutes after the interval.
Substitute Katia Kouyate, who replaced Okoronkwo, then made an instant impact when he added a second just over 30 seconds after coming on. The win moves Everton into the knockout rounds of the competition and the ECHO has taken a look at three talking points from the game.
