Nathan Patterson Gives Promising Performance In Everton Win Over Blackpool

Everton conclude their pre-season campaign against Dynamo Kyiv at Goodison Park tonight.

The Blues claimed their first win of their pre-season campaign against Blackpool last weekend after being beaten by Arsenal and Minnesota United during their tour of the US.

Tonight’s game is set to be the first ‘Match for Peace’ ever played in the UK, with supporters having the option to add a donation of £1, £5 or £10 at the point of purchase for their tickets.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed last weekend’s win at Bloomfield Road, but could return tonight, while it remains to be seen whether new boys Ruben Vinagre and Dwight McNeil will feature.

Kicking-off at 7.45pm, Joe Thomas, Adam Jones and Connor O'Neill will all be at Goodison Park to provide live updates on the action, as well as bringing you team news, analysis and reaction.

Everton play their part on poignant night that showed the power of football

This is an occasion that Everton would, of course, rather they didn't have to host.

What is continuing to take place in Ukraine following the invasion of Russia was why these two teams came together at Goodison Park on Friday evening. Over 30,000 were in attendance for a night where undoubtedly a huge amount of both money and awareness was raised for humanitarian efforts back in the war-torn country - which could well be vital in the coming weeks and months.

This was, however, even a slight escape for many. A night of togetherness, compassion, respect and - at the heart of it all - football.

Adam Jones has the full story.

Meet the Everton fan who made it '4-0'

Paul Stratton had a moment he will never forget on Friday night as he stepped foot in front of the Gwladys Street End at Goodison Park to fire Everton into a '4-0' lead.

He wheeled off in front of the adoring crowd celebrating and kissing the Everton badge, on a night when Dwight McNeil scored a brace during his first taste of action for the Blues.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin opened the scoring in the first-half but it was the man of the moment, Paul, who stole the headlines as he was greeted by Calvert-Lewin and Frank Lampard after rounding off the scoring in L4.
