Sir Philip Carter Park Stand: English football club Everton continued their preparations for the new Premier League season with a 6-0 win over Scottish Premiership side Motherwell in a friendly at Goodison Park on Tuesday afternoon. A brace apiece by Beto and Neal Maupay, as well as goals for Jake O’Brien and Harrison Armstrong, ensured a dominant victory for the Blues.

Beto broke the deadlock on the 34-minute mark following a bright start, which included Iliman Ndiaye rattling the crossbar with a well-struck volley from Seamus Coleman’s cross, with the Portuguese striker receiving the ball inside the penalty area before brushing off a defender and rolling a low finish into the net at Sir Philip Carter Park Stand end.

The Blues then came flying out of the blocks for the second half, with three goals in the space of six minutes before the hour mark. O’Brien made it two goals in as many games when he thundered home from the corner of the six-yard box after Motherwell only managed to half-clear a corner from the right-hand side.
