Everton U18s 4 - 4 West Ham Utd U18s

After falling behind to the tune of 4-0 at home to West Ham in the U18 Premier League Cup Group D match at Finch Farm on Tuesday, Everton U18s staged a remarkable recovery to draw the game 4-4.

The visitors raced into a 4-0 lead inside just 25 minutes, with three of the goals coming in the space of just 5 minutes. But a brace from Justin Clarke plus goals from Braiden Graham and George Morgan secured a magnificent point for Leighton Baines's side.

Everton got their first goal 10 minutes before half-time, with George Morgan heading home from a Kean Wren corner.

On 54 minutes, Justin Clarke headed home from George Finney’s cross at the near post. Then,  when a cross fell straight to Clarke, he brought the ball down and curled it into the top corner.

The equaliser eventually came in the 86th minute. Once again, it was Finney with the cross from the right, with Braiden Graham heading home powerfully.

Everton now lead Group D on goals scored going into the final game at Nottingham Forest on Saturday 23 November.

Everton U18s: Lukjanciks, Finney, Lambert [Y:73'], Davis, Van Schoor (46' Poland), Gardner, Wren (46' Akarakiri), Matos [Y:33'], Morgan (84' Stewart [Y:90+5']), Graham [Y:41'], Clarke (77' Olayiwola).

What a comeback by the Under-18s coached by Leighton Baines, 4-0 down after only 25 minutes, but managed to score 4 goals, with the equalizer coming in the 86th minute!

Way to go lads, an incredible fightback?!?

Morgan, Clarke and Graham look like a set of genuinely exciting attackers.

What a comeback! 👏

Never saw the game so I can't comment except to say I had great expectations of this U18 team in this season's FA Youth Cup with some very good young lads in the team.

That defence though needs a good coat of looking at… Come on Leighton – get them organised!

Morgan, Clarke and Graham sound more like a firm of solicitors :)

Highlights lasting 7'-43" are shown on The Hammers site (3'-15" on OS) and the picture quality is much better.

Great that you put that up, John, many thanks.

Nice to see what can be done with one camera where they zoom in and actually follow the play. Unlike our bunch of nitwits at Finch Farm.

Great diving header for the last Everton goal from Braiden Graham.

And Justin Clarke really looks a handful – big lad but does very well with the ball. I'd have him in the first team in place of the 'athletic' galloot who can't shoot.
