Everton Under-23s climbed to top spot in Premier League 2 with an excellent 5-0 away victory against Arsenal.
Having seen their five-match winning run ended by Sunderland last week, David Unsworth’s team produced the perfect response by thrashing the Gunners at Boreham Wood’s Meadow Park ground.
Everton were in control as early as the fourth minute when Kieran Dowell netted from just inside the penalty area.
The Young Blues struck four more times after the break to put the seal on a comprehensive win.
Liam Walsh’s superb free-kick made it 2-0 at the start of the second half and Oumar Niasse tapped in to make the advantage even more convincing.
