WATCH: Clinical Simms Strike Seals Win Over Blackburn

Everton Under-23s made it back-to-back wins and maintained their unbeaten start to the season as goals from Lewis Gibson and Ellis Simms gave the young Blues a 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers on Monday night.

Looking to follow up their 8-2 thrashing of Southampton prior to the international break, David Unsworth’s side went in front at Goodison Park when Gibson turned in from close range on 21 minutes.

Visitors Blackburn hit back three minutes into the second half through Joseph Rankin-Costello but Simms applied a clinical finish to Anthony Gordon’s perfectly-weighted through ball to seal maximum points with 14 minutes to go.

The result leaves the reigning Premier League 2 champions third in the table following two wins and three draws, two points behind both early frontrunners Chelsea and second-placed Arsenal.
