After just 18 minutes, Everton found themselves two goals down against relegation contenders Norwich City.

The reason we are giving the match some attention is completely down to the brilliance of Manchester United loanee, Brandon Williams, who assisted Adam Idah for Norwich’s second goal.

The second came only two minutes after former Manchester United academy graduate Michael Keane put the ball in his own net.

Williams does really well to get forward and takes advantage of Everton’s questionable defensive shape after winning back possession in his own half.

The left-back sprints forward with the ball before finding Idah with a defensive-splitting through ball.

Hopefully he can continue this form under Dean Smith for the remainder of the season and come back a better player in the summer.

It remains 2-0 to Norwich with five minutes until the half-time whistle.
