'Might as well have a kick about with the kids in the garden' - Everton slated for pointless 22-0 friendly

Everton won 22-0 in their first pre-season friendly under Marco Silva, but were widely criticised for wasting time and energy playing against such lowly opponents.

ATV Irding play in the seventh tier of Austrian football, the Oberliga Nord, but were no match for the Premier League club who saw four separate players score hat-tricks.

Four first-half goals from Turkey international Cenk Tosun had the Toffees 10-0 up at half-time, with Kevin Mirallas scoring give times after the break.

Oumar Niasse and Adeloma Lookman also bagged hat-tricks, but in the end, ATV had given up with five goals coming in the last 10 minutes, including a terrible own goal.
