Everton won this friendly today (4-0) behind closed doors at Finch Farm against a poor Rochdale team. A Garbutt corner was met by the head of Forrester to knock down for Ben Heneghan to put the blues in front. Femi Orenuga came on to replace Chris Long as the referee requested he (Long) needed to be taken off calm down for some feisty challenges but came on later in the game. Everton lead at the break 1-0 but scored 3 more second half goals through Forrester, Long and defender Ibou Touray.
Team was Fitzgibbon, Higgins, Johns, Heneghan, Nsiala, Barrow, Molinuex, Garbutt, Long, Forrester, Hope
