David Unsworth admitted Everton Under-23s’ pressing game was crucial in their 3-0 success over Blackburn Rovers on Friday night.
Goals from Antony Evans coupled with Nathan Broadhead’s second half strike saw the hardworking Toffees ease to victory at the County Ground.
A pleased Unsworth admitted he was impressed with his young charges, who could have had more than the three goals they scored.
“I thought we were really good,” he told evertonfc.com. “We were a lot better in the second half and just did not give Blackburn a platform. That was really pleasing.
