DAN GOSLING and James Vaughan both scored as Everton reserves beat Burnley 3-2.

Vaughan opened the scoring early on before Gosling scored one penalty, missed another and Conor McAleny hit the winner with five minutes left.

Earlier, Burnley had twice equalised and a draw looked likely before substitute McAleny’s intervention.

Andy Holden’s men took the lead after just seven minutes when Jose Baxter won a free-kick just outside the right-hand edge of the penalty area.

Adam Forshaw whipped the set-piece in and Vaughan was on hand to send a well executed scissor-kick into the net. The lead was short-lived though, with the Clarets scoring on the counter just 60 seconds after Everton’s opener.

Vaughan was dispossessed on the edge of Burnley’s area and a swift move down the Burnley right lead to the leveller.

Everton regained the lead on the hour when Forshaw was felled by keeper Diego Penney and Gosling slotted the penalty home.

The midfielder had a second penalty saved 12 minutes from time and it looked costly when Burnley equalised three minutes later.

But the ex-Plymouth man had other ideas as he went on a splendid run before playing in McAleny who finished well.

EVERTON: Turner, Thompson, Duffy, Mustafi, Garbutt, Forshaw, Wallace, Gosling, Craig, Baxter (Akpan 90), Vaughan (McAleny 60).
