Despite taking an early lead at Southampton's Staplewood Training Ground at lunchtime on Friday, Everton U21s were trailing for most of the second half before Reece Welch got a tying goal in added time.
Everton had taken the lead after just 10 minutes when 17-year-old Demi Akarakiri fired from close range to score his second goal in his last two games.
But the home side got an equaliser, then a go-ahead goal that looked like it had sealed a win until Reece Welch popped up after 92 minutes to head home a Francis Gomez corner and earn a point for the travelling young blues
Everton U21s: Lukjanciks, Samuels-Smith (85' Davis), Van Schoor, Welch, Thomas, Bates, (52' Olayiwola), Boakye (75' Loney), Gomez, Ebere (75' Pita), Akarakiri, Graham.

"Improve" -- Moyes's answer when asked about what the majority of the young players need to do to get a start.
I'd imagine Braiden has been told the same.

A header from a 92nd minute corner.
Anyone know how many players we had on the goal line marking their keeper?
