Everton 2 - Birmingham 2

A dissapointing result for Everton fc.

It was a hard match at St Andrews, but a match Everton easily could have won.

With Anichebe scoring in the opening 18 minutes, there were high hopes that everton would come out with a victory. Then, just 3 minutes after scoring their first goal, Yakubu managed to slam the ball into the back of the net. Everton were leading 2-0.

In the 24 minute, Birmingham got their revenge, with Jerome getting the ball past Everton's keeper.

Everton, still leading, going into the second half were still hopefull but in the 51 minute, Everton's defence collapsed, letting Birmingham City's Gardener score, bringing the score to a draw.

A dissapointment for both teams.

Everton vs Birmingham




Everton will face off against Birmingham Fc this weekend. Birmingham are currently one place above Everton on the Premier league table ( Birmingham: 8th, Everton: 9th). Birmingham have 43 points, and Everton have 41 points. If Everton were to win, they would overtake Birmingham by 1 point, making Everton 8th, just below Aston Villa.
The Game will be played at Birminghams home ground, St Andrews Stdium, and will be played on Saturday 13th of March UK time, Sunday 14th March New Zealand time. The last game Everton played at St Andrews, was in April 2008, where they drew 1-1. Seeing Everton have won their last game against Hull by so much, hopefully Eerton can win this game.

Everton 5 - Hull City 1




An extraordinary match for Everton fc. Arteta was back, and ready to impress in this league match. A cross from Yukubu meant a fantastic goal or Mikel Arteta in the 16th minute of the game. Then a shock goal by Cairney of Hull City brought the match to a 1-1 draw.
Arteta didn't stop there though. 6 minutes later, he slammed in another goal, getting everton back in the lead. At the half time break, Everton was up 2-1. 5 minutes into the second half, Garcia slips the ball into the net, making Everton's lead that much bigger.

Once Langdon Donovan came on to replace Anichebe, he was right into it. He scored in the 81 minute, a great way to farewell his Everton fans. Finally, to put the icing on the cake, Rodwell scores, just to minutes before the end of the match, giving the match a final score of 5-1 to Everton.
