This was one match that was not showing in Singapore. But what a result it was knowing that Everton had scored six (Five legitimate goal, and one own goal!).
The Toffees, with six changes to the team that last played, took on their League One opposition with much guile. Young Gueye was making the left channel his as his cross was met with a strike by Felli but it was blocked. But in the 6th minute, the same pair came together and that culminated in a different result. Gueye crossed the ball from the left channel for Felli to head in a thunderbolt! Everton 1-0 Huddersfield. Great goal. Assist: Gueye.
The second goal scored in the 13th minute was even better. Rodwell, who is pushing for a English international call-up, picked up the ball, cut back, and unleashed a fiery shot for a distance that saw it went past the goalkeeper. Everton 2-0 Huddersfield.
But Huddersfield pulled one back in the 39th minute with an unfortunate Heitinga goal. Everton 2-1 Huddersfield.
In the second half, Everton continued their fine form and in the 48th minute, and was awarded a penalty when Rodwell turned the defender who in turn, brought Rodwell down in the penalty area. Beckford went on to score the penalty. Everton 3-1 Huddersfield.
Everton won another penalty in the 70th minute after Coleman was plled down in the penalty area. However, Heitinga took the shot but it was saved. Still, Everton made it four in the 76th minute. Saha scored with his first touch of the ball. Beckford setting him up. Everton 4-1 Huddersfield.
The evening was complete with Ossie scoring a header from Coleman's cross. Everton totally dominated the ir opposition.
Still, this is not good enough. Everton must still replicate their form for the Premier League.
