icliverpool: EVERTON'S RESERVES brought their five match wait for a victory to an end in emphatic fashion at Aggborough. Andy Holden called upon first-team players Leon Osman and Per Kroldrup for the match against West Brom and both netted. For Kroldrup, it was his first goal in an Everton jersey as he continues to work his way back to full fitness. With young striker Paul Hopkins adding the third early in the second half, it proved a hugely successful night for the Blues who could have had even more goals. By contrast, a more experienced Albion side that included the likes of Darren Moore, Robert Earnshaw and Ricci Scimeca had to settle for a late consolation from former Birmingham midfielder Darren Carter. Holden's men got off to a dream start, taking a two-goal lead within the opening 22 minutes. Kroldrup netted the opener on 14 minutes. A corner from Christian Seargeant found its way to Kroldrup whose first touch looped the ball away from Russell Hoult and his second prodded the ball into the net from an acute angle. Eight minutes later Osman was on hand to beat Hoult, diving in at the back post to guide a header into the net. Everton didn't have to wait long for number three. It came five minutes after the restart, with Hopkins smashing the ball in from close range after connecting with an intelligent low cross from the right by Stephen Wynne. Albion grabbed a consolation when Darren Carter's free-kick evaded the unsighted Iain Turner.
Andy Holden: "I thought it was a great result. From first minute to last we went about in an excellent manner against a strong West Brom side that had a number of first team players in action." "I was very happy with the performance from everybody. I am delighted for the young lads. This was a great performance and Iain Turner didn't have a save to make - their goal was a lucky one straight from a free kick." "I thought the second half was going to be a long 45 because we were two up and they were eager to get back into the game. The third goal was a great move and it killed them off really. They only managed one goal midway through the half and we did very well in what were difficult conditions.” Source: evertonfc.com
