Marco Silva insisted his side took plenty from their final pre-season test against La Liga side Valencia.
The visitors edged an entertaining contest 3-2 courtesy of Rodrigo Moreno’s brace and Daniel Wass’ winner in the second half. Blues duo Cenk Tosun and Michael Keane netted first-half equalisers for the hosts.
With the Premier League season kicking off at Wolves in seven days' time, this presented Everton boss Silva with the final opportunity to give minutes to his squad.
Theo Walcott, who set up Tosun for his goal, got 60 minutes in what was his first game of pre-season, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin enjoyed a second-half cameo as he returned from injury.
