Blackburn Rovers 4-3 Everton u18
Everton staged a spirited second-half comeback but were eventually edged out 4-3 at Blackburn Rovers in a thrilling Lancashire FA Senior Cup quarter-final tie on Tuesday.
The Toffees were 4-0 down at half-time but delivered an impressive response after the break.
Everton midfielder Rhys Hughes found the bottom corner with a speculative effort just before the hour mark, before Kieran Phillips slotted home seven minutes from time to make it 4-2.
Hughes then rifled in from the edge of the box in stoppage time as Everton reduced the deficit to a single goal.
The Toffees poured men forward in search of a dramatic equaliser but, despite a late flurry of pressure, the home side held on.
