After being told he didn’t have a future at Everton, Oumar Niasse was a surprise inclusion in David Unsworth’s side to face Arsenal tonight.

The Under 23’s ran out emphatic 5-0 winners away at Boreham Wood and the Senegalese striker marked his appearance with his first goal in Everton colours, notching the third in a comprehensive victory.

The Blues took the lead just four minutes in thanks to Kieran Dowell’s low finish inside the area, with Jonjoe Kenny also going close.

Unsworth’s side went into half-time holding a narrow advantage but came storming out of the blocks in the second half, with Liam Walsh’s brilliant free-kick doubling their lead within two minutes of the restart.

Niasse netted from close range to extend the young Blues’ lead, before Calum Dyson headed in a fourth within just moments of entering the fray as a substitute. Dyson then finished the rout, scoring Everton’s fifth with five minutes left on the clock to seal their fourth win of the Premier League 2 campaign.

Everton U23s: Hewelt, Jones, Robinson, Walsh, Connolly, Kenny, Dowell, Davies, Calvert-Lewin, Niasse, Henen.

Subs: Dyson, Renshaw, Duffus, Charsley, Sambou.

Romelu Lukaku has been ruled out of Tuesday’s game against Norwich City with a toe injury.

The Belgian will be replaced by Enner Valencia after picking up the injury in the 3-1 over Middlesbrough at Goodison on Saturday. He will be rested for two days before resuming training in preparation for the trip to Bournemouth at the weekend.

Valencia, who is on from West Ham United, will get his first Everton start in the EFL Cup third round clash having made his debut as a late substitute against Boro.

Manager Ronald Koeman also suggested further changes may be made to his starting XI but Darron Gibson and James McCarthy remain side-lined by respective groin problems which have required surgery.

The Blues boss said: “Romelu is not available, only he from the weekend is not fit and not available for tomorrow. He will rest his toe for two days and then normally, after two days, he can do normal training and [hopefully] he is available for the weekend.”
