Kenny Hails Goodison Backing.

“All the lads enjoyed the crowd at Goodison Park. We are not used to playing in front of that many people so for them all to come out and support us was great and a fantastic experience for us.”

Skipper Jonjoe Kenny admitted the chance to play in front of 5,500 Evertonians was one the entire Under-23s group relished, as they put Southampton to the sword on Monday evening.

A fixture dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the Under-23s’ Home Is Where The Heart Is campaign, in which David Unsworth’s charges are hoping to raise £230,000 to help the city’s homeless, the visit of the mid table Saints was also the opportunity to restore the young Blues’ six-point cushion at the top of the Premier League 2 table.
