The young attackers played a significant part as Everton U23s ran out winners.
Everton U23s prevailed past their Chelsea counterparts with a 2-1 victory last night, with forwards Bassala Sambou and Fraser Hornby both making a major impact.
Sambou and Hornby both scored and provided an assist as David Unsworth’s side took all three points, and they will hope that their performances won’t have gone unnoticed by Everton manager Sam Allardyce.
As reported by the club’s official website, Everton took the lead through Hornby following good work from Sambou.
Chelsea then levelled courtesy of Daishawn Redwan, but it was Everton who managed to prevail, with Sambou scoring the decisive goal of the game in the 60th minute.
Everton have some exciting players in their academy, with Sambou and Hornby certainly amongst them.
Sambou, for instance, has worked hard up front this season for Everton at U23 level and demonstrated yesterday what he is capable of.
Hornby, meanwhile, has adapted quickly to playing for the U23s having previously showcased his credentials for the U18s.
Having made his senior debut in the Europa League earlier this season, Hornby will be eager for further first-team involvement in the near future, and he is certainly doing his case for inclusion no harm at all.
