Everton fall in preseason opener

Everton have opened their preseason with defeat to Bury.

A deft header from Louis Saha put the Toffeemen in front early on but Bury hit back with two second-half goals.

Ryan Lowe and Efe Sodje netted on 63 and 70 minutes to turn the game around.

Everton new boys Anton Peterlin and Shkodran Mustafi both made their debuts, while Jo, who agreed a season-long loan switch from Manchester City hours before the game, also played in the second half.
