Some of Everton’s recruitment has been derided in recent years but they may have found a good ‘un in 22-year-old midfielder Carlos Alcaraz.
After the Argentine made an impressive debut off the bench following his January loan move from Flamengo, David Moyes now has the big decision whether to throw his new arrival into the heat of a Merseyside derby at Goodison on Wednesday from the start.
Certainly, Alcaraz made a major impact on Saturday. Before his introduction midway through the second half, Everton created nothing and deservedly trailed to goals from Antoine Semenyo (pen) and Daniel Jebbison.
