Everton Under-23s extended their winning start to 2016/17 to four games with a 4-1 victory at Leicester City on Thursday afternoon.
Having already defeated Tottenham and Derby in the new-look Premier League 2 either side of an International Cup triumph over Reading, the young Blues headed to Belvoir Drive high on confidence.
And through goals from Harry Charsley, Courtney Duffus, Antony Evans and Calum Dyson, David Unsworth’s side sit pretty at the top of the league table with maximum points.
The hosts started brightly and their physical and pacey attackers asked questions of a Blues backline which featured Jonjoe Kenny and Callum Connolly, both recently back from injury.
