U18s come back to beat Newcastle 5-2

Everton Under-18s came from 2-0 down after just 23 minutes to win 5-2 at Newcastle United on Saturday. But they forced a goal of their own five minutes before the interval. Kieran Dowell's corner was headed down by Calum Dyson and midfielder Tom Davies was there to pounce from close range.

Substitute Arlen Birch produced a wonderstrike with one of his very first touches in the game, lashing a 25-yard shot across the Magpies' goalkeeper and in off the post. Birch would get on the scoresheet again less than six minutes later after finding himself well placed to convert a cross and make it 3-2.

A second corner proved fruitful on 75 minutes when Callum Connolly headed home. And as injury time neared, there was still enough on the clock for skipper Gethin Jones to run the length of the field and centre for Delial Brewster to add gloss to the result.

Everton U18s: Griffiths; Jones, Connolly, Graham, Langton; Shannon, Dyson (85' Adelson), Davies; Brewster, T Duffus, Dowell (60' Birch).
