Teenage midfielder Harrison Armstrong impressed again for Everton as the Blues thumped Motherwell 6-0 at Goodison Park. Sean Dyche’s side built on a dominant performance at Preston North End to add a second win of pre-season against the Scottish Premiership outfit in the behind-closed-doors match.
Armstrong, just 17, finished from 10 yards to make it 3-0 to the hosts shortly after his introduction from the bench. The box-to-box midfielder joined the first team for the game at Salford City, during which he came off the bench, due to injuries in the squad.

Beto opened the scoring midway through the first half, capping a bright start that saw Iliman Ndiaye strike the bar. Three goals in six minutes after the break then took the game away from Motherwell, who kickstarted their league campaign with a goalless draw against Ross County on Saturday. Jake O’Brien struck from six yards amid a penalty box scramble – a second goal in two games for the new centre back – before Armstrong got his name on the scoresheet.
