Everton Under-23s’ boldness in making two attacking changes despite leading Tottenham Hotspur paid off, said John Ebbrell.
Holding a slender 1-0 advantage at the break thanks to Oumar Niasse’s sixth-minute header, David Unsworth introduced the attack-minded David Henen and Antony Evans for central midfielder Dennis Adeniran and left-back Matthew Foulds.
And the move was rewarded handsomely as the former laid on further goals for Ademola Lookman and Niasse before netting himself in a blistering nine-minute spell in the eventual 4-1 Premier League 2 win at Goodison.
