Bolton 0-0 Everton: Toffees' need for attacking signings laid bare as they are held to a frustrating pre-season goalless draw against League One side

Everton's need for attacking reinforcements in the transfer window was laid bare when they missed a string of decent chances and could only draw to League One Bolton in a friendly.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was not one of the 25 players who travelled to the newly-named Toughsheet Community Stadium and, despite the injury-prone forward being part of the training group at a camp in Evian, France, he is yet to play a minute on the pitch.

There were positive outings for youngster Lewis Dobbin, the 20-year-old forward who spent last season on loan at Derby, and 38-year-old veteran Ashley Young.
