Everton U18s slaughter Nottm Forest in FA Youth Cup

Everton U18s 7 - 0 Nottm Forest U18s

A hat-trick for Harrison Armstrong was the icing on the cake at the end of a fantastic win for the U18s at Goodison Park on Wednesday night that takes them through to the 4h Round of this season's FA Youth Cup.

The goals came from Armstrong (3), Davis, Catesby, Clarke and Morgan.

Harrison Armstrong opened the scoring on 25 minutes. Luca Davis doubled Everton’s advantage with a smart shot from Harvey Foster’s free-kick, before Joel Catesby finished off a flowing move involving summer signing Justin Clarke and Armstrong to make it 3-0 at half-time.

Armstrong got his second of the night soon after the break, courtesy of another Foster assist. And the midfielder capped off a sparking performance by setting up both Justin Clarke and George Morgan for goals five and six.

There was still time for Armstrong to get his hat-trick with virtually the last action of the night, rising high again in the 94th minute to head home from a corner.

Everton U18s: G Pickford, Finney, Van Schoor, Davis, Thomas, Foster (60' Olayiwola), Clarke (75' Loney), Matos (60' Gardner), Morgan (75' Wren), Armstrong, Catesby (75' Stewart).
