Everton won a great game of football. It had everything great goals, silly goals, great play, some bad defending, some great last ditch tackles, great saves, 3 penalties, bookings galore, & a harsh sending off, plus more. Everton seemed to be coasting at 3-0, which could have been 5, if Chadders hadn't missed both penos, but then Utd came back to make it 3-2, & Everton were hanging on at the end. The crowd were astonished not to see Franny Jeffers in the starting line up, even after all the media & Everton had told us that he would be starting. The reason given. Stomach upset. glass ankle, glass back, now glass stomach. Will we see you again?

Turner: Made some important saves.
B Moogan: Made some great tackles. Joined the attack & put over some great crosses. One particular one was headed wide by his cousin, Alan.
Wilson:
Clarke: Commanding in the air. Helped his young defenders.
Hughes: A big step up from Academy football. Alan did well. Classy player, who will benefit from this game.
Nyarko: Played very well. Had a few chances to score. Unlucky with a great chip. Won his fare share of tackles.
Li Tie: In & Out of the game. His cross led to the 1st penalty.
Schumacher: Did OK without shining.
Chadwick: Eventful night. Was always in the right place to score. Now he must learn to convert those chances into more goals. Scored a lucky one, a great one, missed an easy one, put his 1st pen over the bar, & the 2nd was well saved.
Campbell: Scored a typical header from a corner. Again ed the line well. Another 90 mins.
A Moogan: Always involved. Did well. Laid on Super's goal.
