Martin Sherif and Coby Ebere’s goals for Everton against Liverpool in their 2-1 Under-18s Merseyside Derby win at Finch Farm on Saturday were just rewards for the hard work that Leighton Baines’ side are putting in believes his assistant coach Kieran Driscoll.
The Blues, who went 2-0 up before Kyle Kelly’s late consolation goal, dominated the fixture against their neighbours with the Reds having goalkeeper Luke Hewitson to thank for preventing a potential thrashing through a string of impressive saves.
Driscoll told the ECHO: “We were pleased with the way that we started the game, for the opening 25 minutes or so I thought we were really bright and I thought we created more than enough chances to put ourselves in a comfortable position. In terms of the two goals, there was a great pass from Jacob (Beaumont-Clark) to free Martin (Sherif) and it’s something he’s been working on a lot, those finishes off his right foot, so that was pleasing for him to come away from the game with that having worked on it a lot over the past couple of weeks so the credit goes to him on that.
