EVERTON put on a five-star performance in their final away game of the season as they beat Middlesbrough 5-2 on Saturday.
After a disappointing and unfair defeat to Nottingham Forest ended a five-match unbeaten run in the FA Premier Academy League, Neil Dewsnip’s side bounced back in style at the weekend.
Everton opened the scoring in the first 10 minutes when midfielder Adam Forshaw fired in from 20 yards.
Striker Lewis Codling doubled the lead with the first of his two goals soon after, following up after the Boro keeper spilled a shot to put Everton 2-0 ahead.
But just before the break Middlesbrough pulled a goal back right on half-time.
Almost from the restart, though, Everton restored their two-goal lead when Karl Sheppard scored after the ball bounced back to him off the crossbar.
Middlesbrough pulled it back to 3-2 but Codling scored again when he pounced on a poor clearance to tap in.
