Everton Under-18s played out a pulsating 4-4 draw with league leaders Manchester City on Saturday.
After Ian Carlo Poveda’s early strike and Liam Morris turned into his own net, the young Blues had it all to do at City’s Academy Stadium.
But a Joel Latideaudiere own goal on the stroke of half-time sparked Kevin Sheedy’s side into life and, following Fraser Hornby’s 12-minute brace, Jack Kiersey netted to put the Toffees 4-2 ahead on the hour mark.
Unfortunately for the visitors, the drama wasn’t over there.
Henri Ogunby clawed the Citizens back into the game with seven minutes remaining before Demean Duhaney levelled moments later to ensure the spoils would be shared.
