Caretaker Everton manager David Unsworth has expressed his delight at his side's performance during their season-ending 3-0 victory over Norwich City this afternoon.
The Toffees began life after Roberto Martinez with a convincing win over the already-relegated Canaries at Goodison Park, with Under-21 boss Unsworth and former Everton manager Joe Royle overseeing the victory.
Unsworth was particularly impressed with the youngsters, and also gave a special mention to Tim Howard, who brought his 10-year stay at the club to an end with a clean sheet.
"I was delighted the team could put that performance in, delighted they got the win, I was even more delighted we got a clean sheet for Tim. If there was a script and I could have written it last night, it would have been exactly what's happened today. From minute one to the last minute I thought we were fantastic and I was a very proud man stood on the line today," he told reporters.
"I thought the young lads were terrific. I thought Matty Pennington started the game really well, unfortunately had to come off with a hamstring and it was a case of 'no problem'. Jonjoe Kenny's been playing there all season.
"He's been Under-21 captain, I had no hesitation putting him in and he was outstanding as well. Kieran Dowell showed flashes of genius, showed the quality he's been showing all season with the Under-21s, and as for Tom Davies, I thought his performance was probably man of the match. For me he was everything we want in an Everton central midfielder."
The win sees Everton finish the season 11th in the Premier League table.
