Paul Tait has hailed his Everton Under-21 side after they found themselves in seventh heaven against their Colchester United counterparts in the Premier League Cup. The young Blues dominated a nine-goal thriller at Southport’s Haig Avenue to record a resounding 7-2 victory.
In-form Tom Cannon fired Everton ahead inside one minute while Katia Kouyate’s brace along with a strike from Mackenzie Hunt had them 4-0 ahead before half-time. Cannon and Kouyate grabbed another goal apiece in the second half while Isaac Price got in on the act in the dying minutes of the match.
Tait told evertonfc.com: “The lads were very professional, applied themselves really well and there was some really good performances. To score seven goals is brilliant.
