Things got a little heated in the second half after sub (Mick?) McManus scored moments after coming on for Hibs, and then pinned Rooney with a traditional leg-lock. Both players were booked and Rooney was, er, withdrawn a minute later. Gravesen was also booked as Everton presumably showed some much wanted aggression and will to win, despite this being a meaningless friendly. It was the
True Blue, David Unsworth who leveled the score and saved the
blue blushes as he hammered home a penalty near the end.
