A FINAL day 3-1 defeat at Manchester City meant Everton’s Reserve side finished seventh in the FA Barclays Premier Reserve League Northern Section.
Everton had taken the lead on the hour when Jose Baxter’s cross was turned into his own net by Clayton McDonald.
However Andy Holden’s men held onto the advantage for just eight minutes as Joe Hart’s goal-kick found Bulgarian striker Valeri Bojinov, who struck past Carlo Nash from 30 yards.
Bojinov made it 2-1 two minutes later after a neat inter-change before Martin Petrov lashed a stunning volley past Nash on 76 minutes.
Everton’s second string amassed 22 points this season from 20 games, winning five and drawing seven.
