Neil Wood's side had to come from behind with Anthony Elanga getting the leveller after Ellis Simms had put Everton in front on the hour.
The win was marred to some degree when Reds goalkeeper Ondrej Mastny was taken from the field on a stretcher, after receiving treatment for several minutes. Happily, his coach Wood later confirmed the shot-stopper was up and about in the dressing room and showing no serious effects from his heavy collision with team-mate Will Fish.
United's senior Academy side went into this game against the Toffees on a similar path to the one negotiated by the club’s first team so far this season, enjoying more success when taking to the road.
