Anton Peterlin and Cody Arnoux have both been given ample amount of playing time thus far and on Tuesday the pair helped the Everton Reserves notch a fine victory over Wigan. Everton’s Shane Duffy and Tom Donegan each notched a brace with Kieran Agard netting once to make the final score line a resounding 5-2.
Peterlin got the start and played effectively, with Arnoux coming on for the final 30 minutes. Neither American played a strong hand in the goals, however, they each played well and a convincing win like Tuesday’s was much needed from a squad that dropped five of their past six matches.
Premiership:
Anton Peterlin and Cody Arnoux, Everton.
Vs. Wigan Athletic Reserves, 5-2, (Peterlin played 90 minutes, Arnoux played 30 minutes)
(See above)
Up Next: Tuesday, November 24th, home against Sunderland Reserves.
League One:
Jemal Johnson, Milton Keynes Dons
Vs. Northampton Town, 3-1, (DNP)
Vs. Charlton Athletic, 5-1, (31 minutes)
In Johnstone Paint Trophy action, the Dons beat up on Northampton Town and progressed to the semi-final round. Johnson returned to action on Saturday, coming on as a second half substitute in the league, but the Dons were decimated by Charlton 5-1. Aaron Wilbraham scored in the 10th minute for the visitors but Charlton then scored five unanswered goals.
Up Next: Friday, away to Southampton.
Mike Grella, Leeds United
Vs. Grimsby Town, 3-1, (DNP)
Leeds also progressed into the semi-finals of the JPT with a 3-1 win, but Grella was not included in the side. Saturday’s match against Swindon Town was rescheduled due to international call-ups for Leeds players.
Up Next: and Saturday, away to Brighton.
John-Paul Pittman, Wycombe Wanderers
Vs. Hudderfield Town, 6-0, (42 minutes)
Pittman came on late in the first half, replacing John Akinde, but failed to make an impact as Wycombe lost badly, 6-0. Wanderers now have 10 loses in league play, compared to just one win and five draws. Relegation seems almost assured at this point.
Up Next: Wednesday, away to Brighton, and Saturday, away to Millwall.
League Two:
Eric Lichaj, Lincoln City
Vs. Cheltenham Town, 1-1, (DNP)
Lichaj, still serving his 3-match ban, was not involved in Saturday’s draw. City’s Jamie Clarke netted just after the break to cancel out Justin Richards’ opener.
Up Next: Saturday, home against Grimsby Town.
