Under 21s: Everton 2 United 0

The Reds' winning run in the Under 21 Premier League came to a disappointing
Ex-Red Sam Byrne helped Everton to their win
halt at Everton's training complex.  Everton dealt far better with the windy conditions and ran out deserved winners.

Holgate gave the home side the lead after 32 minutes when he got on the end of Dowell's cross.  Although United threatened to equalise through efforts from Riley and Redmond, Everton defended their lead well and might have extended their lead when former United player Sam Byrne (right) tested Pereira in the Reds goal with a rasping shot.

It was Byrne who provided the cross for Dyson to head home and secure a win for the Blues with ten minutes left.

It was a rare setback for United in their pursuit of Sunderland at the top of the league and they'll be looking to put things back on track when they face Norwich at Old Trafford next Monday.
