Ireland v England draw sets new record for Everton

An unlikely new Everton record was created during the Republic of Ireland's 0-0 draw against England on Sunday.

The match between the Irish and the English in Dublin was arguably one of the most unspectacular matches ever played in recent memory but as a vain positive from the game, Premier League side Everton did manage to achieve a record.

When Phil Jagielka came on for Gary Cahill, it meant that five Everton players had featured in the same international for the first time in the club's history.

Seamus Coleman, James McCarthy and Aiden McGeady all started for Ireland, while Jagielka and Ross Barkley were both introduced for England meaning that the Toffees created a piece of history from a dull affair.
