Everton drove into a 2-0 lead with goals from Lewis Dobbin and Tom Cannon, only for the visitors score either side of half-time to equalize. Article continues below video content Everton went ahead through Luke Butterfield but two more goals from the Hammers would steal the game from the Blues.

Disclaimer Dave Abrahams 1 Posted 25/04/2022 at 19:18:41 Everton take the lead after 9 minutes with a goal from Dobbin. That's a very young team apart from Crellin and Cannon. Dave Abrahams 2 Posted 25/04/2022 at 19:29:52 Cannon has made it 2-0 after 22 minutes, information from another website. This game is at Finch Farm but not being televised because Crystal Palace are playing Leeds tonight and so our U23s game cannot be shown in the wonderful world of Premier League football!

Phill Thompson 8 Posted 25/04/2022 at 20:59:34 Full-TimeEverton 3-4 West Ham UnitedAnd to cap it off Chelsea win 2-1 .Friday we’re away to City , Leeds are away to Arsenal . Still in a relegation fight. Everton eh. Robert Tressell 9 Posted 26/04/2022 at 09:53:49 Really good curved run and left foot finish from Simms for Hearts against Dundee yesterday. Came on as sub and it was a very good clean strike. Really difficult to know quite what level he's at as a player. Dave Williams 10 Posted 26/04/2022 at 10:31:15 I wonder if Simms will be a Ted McDougal type of player- not great at the basics but can score goals? Robert Tressell 11 Posted 26/04/2022 at 11:36:11 Never heard of Ted McDougall, Dave, but Simms certainly looks like someone who will score goals if presented with chances. Whether that's good enough is unclear. You could make a case that Niasse was that sort of player too, I suppose. Dave Abrahams 12 Posted 26/04/2022 at 12:45:41 Robert (11), not sure how old you are Robert but on the day that Everton beat Southampton 8-0 Ted McDougall scored nine goals for Bournemouth in an F.A cup mane versus Margate, don’t know if this is a record for the FA cup.He was transferred to Man. Unt not long after that game and played for various clubs after that, I think he played for Scotland a few times after starting his career with Liverpool without playing in their first team.
