Everton FC reserves held to draw with Sunderland as Jose Baxter misses penalty

EVERTON Reserves were held to a 1-1 draw by Sunderland on a night that saw Jose Baxter fail to score from the spot.

The striker had the opportunity to put Andy Holden's side ahead in the first half after a handball. Baxter’s effort was saved by Trevor Carson.

Just seconds before the break Sunderland made Everton pay for their failure to convert the spot-kick and snatched the lead through Ryan Noble.

Everton started the second half brightly and Cody Arnoux soon equalised with a cooly taken shot on 53 minutes.
