Emilio Lawrence (15) scores for Everton U18 in victory against Wolves

Emilio Lawrence was on the scoresheet for Everton U18s against Wolves on Saturday.

The 15 year-old came off the bench to score in the 3-1 win.

Afterwards, Everton coach Paul Tait told the club's website: “Emilio gave us a threat.

"He can hit the ball with both feet and shifted it from right to left to score a smashing goal.".

He added: “Today, we had u-16s in [defender] Jenson Metcalfe and [full-back, Roman] Quintyne playing 90 minutes.

“Owen Barker [16-year-old midfielder] played most of the game. And we replaced two 18-year-olds with two 15-year-olds in the second-half.

“It was pleasing because they played the same style of football and produced the same type of play we had from the older boys."
