He made the most of Tarkowski's headed pass and blasted the ball into the net. The Toffees were in control of the match and should have scored again. McNeil struck an effort wide, with Mykolenko shooting straight at Flekken. Doucoure then rattled the bar before Frank's side found an equaliser. Jansen got on the end of Janelt's disguised pass and powered his low effort in off the post. Beto then had a scoring chance but made a mess of the finish and shot well wide.
