Everton make light work of Yeovil Town in EFL Cup

Aaron Lennon's first goal since March, captain for the night Ross Barkley's second of the season and two late rare strikes from Arouna Kone gave Everton a comfortable 4-0 EFL Cup win at home to Yeovil.
It was expected to be fairly straightforward against a side 79 places further down the leagues, but manager Ronald Koeman signalled his intent to do the job properly by handing full debuts to new signings Ashley Williams, who enjoyed the most comfortable of introductions to Goodison Park, and Yannick Bolasie.
However, striker Romelu Lukaku's first start of the campaign showed he still has some way to go to reach the sharpness which brought him 25 goals last term.
