Everton Under-23s weren’t the only ones tasting glory this month.
The Club’s Under-13 side won the prestigious Premier League International Tournament after beating some of Europe’s best teams in their age groups.
The young Blues’ journey began with a regional qualifier at Stoke City which saw them get the better of the hosts, Manchester City and Manchester United.
That secured a place in the finals at St George’s Park including Benfica, Rapid Vienna, Chelsea, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sunderland.
The junior Toffees were drawn with Arsenal, West Brom and Benfica in a group which you had to win to make the final.
