Scorers: Vidarrsson (2), Anichebe

It took only ten men in Royal Blue to turn the shite over in last night's mini Derby at Wrexham's Race Course Ground. A double from Bjarni Vidarrsson and a header from Victor Anichebe gave Everton a three goal lead, and they also had the luxury of a penalty miss after bluekipper's mate Mark Hughes watched his second half spot kick saved by Willis is the shite sticks.

The shite fought back with goals from Pongy, and Guthrie, but it was all too little too late as the Blues took all the points. Late on James Harris took an early bath when he was dismissed after two yellows. Not a bad start turning the shite over, and rightly Andy Holden was overjoyed. (17/08/05)

Yozzer Hughes Reserve Skipper says: "It’s always good to beat Liverpool and we deserved it because we played well together. When we went three up they put us on our toes a bit and we had to defend a lot especially when we went we down to ten men.

When it was 3-2 we seemed to be permanently on the edge of our 18-yard box but Wrighty kept us lively and kept talking to us. I also thought that Victor was outstanding for us up front on his own. He held the ball up well for us.

I scored a penalty last season against Nottingham Forest and so I was confident that I’d score again but I think centre-halves are probably best staying on the half-way line. I was pleased to set Victor up for his goal so soon after my miss!" (17/08/05)
