Goals from Steven Morrison and James Vaughan could not stop a strong looking Everton Reserve side lose against Man City 4-2 last night. The Second string could not repeat Moyesy's boys away day victory of Monday night, even if they included Kepler Wessels, Leighton Baines, Big Vic and Vaughny in our starting line up. In fairness City had the likes of Emile Mpenza (who netted twice), and Nery Castillo in their own starting eleven.

Moyesy was in the crowd to look on his first teamers, and with Pompey on Sunday in mind, Big Vic, Bainsey and Vaughny all made way before the ninety minutes was up.
