Unsworth 'Could Not Be Prouder' Of Table-Topping Under-23s
David Unsworth said he “couldn’t be prouder” after his Everton Under-23s side came from behind to beat West Ham United 2-1 and return to the top of the Premier League 2 table.
Veron Parkes fired the Hammers in front early in the second half against the run of play at Southport’s Merseyrail Community Stadium.
The young Blues hit back almost instantaneously, however, Morgan Feeney heading home his first goal since returning from knee surgery.
Bassala Sambou then slotted home a penalty with 11 minutes to go to complete the turnaround.
Unsworth was effusive in his praise for how his side dug in to secure victory – particularly given their hectic fixture schedule.
