Sutton went on to concede three goals, MJ Williams (18′), Isaac Marriott (78′) and Ben Whitfield (90’+7)…
As it turns out, a right-back was well worth the wait for Everton. They tried and failed all summer right up until deadline day when they welcomed Ainsley Maitland-Niles and to say that he introduced himself in style would be an understatement. The former Arsenal man sent a timely reminder of his quality to the rest of the Premier League when he curled home a sensational last-gasp equaliser against Manchester United on Sunday. REUTERS/Jason Cairnduff At long last, Everton have their right-back and one capable of producing heroic moments, at that. Even David Moyes was impressed, telling reporters at full-time:…
