Goodison Park as Lee Carsley&#8217;s side keep the pressure on group leaders Ukraine<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Harvey Elliott scored twice in dominant victory on Tuesday night\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Midfielder Tyler Morton opened the scoring from distance in the first-half\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s the world against Everton \u2013 it can

of his career at Everton\u2019s Goodison Park marked a special day for Tyler Morton.<\/p>\n<p>The midfielder, on loan at Hull City and one of three Tigers in the squad, helped England to their a thumping win over Northern Ireland in a European Championships qualifier, with Liverpool team-mate Harvey Elliott joining him by scoring a brace on the ground of his club\u2019s rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Morton took a powerful clearance down well with his chest before scoring from distance on the half-volley.<\/p>\n<p>Elliott fired in a long-range free-kick and then doubled his tally with a fine chip after darting behind the defence.<\/p>\n<p>It was far from the febrile noise expected at Goodison on Sunday for the visit of Manchester United, in which Everton fans will protest against their 10-point Premier League\u00a0deduction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

darting behind the defence in the 80th minute<\/p>\n<p>But it was still a proud night for the Toffees as defender Jarrad Branthwaite was captain.<\/p>\n<p>Branthwaite, who has started the last 12 Everton games and lost just four of those, was watched by club manager Sean Dyche\u00a0in the stands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There were also several EFL bosses and\u00a0Gareth Southgate\u2019s assistant Steve Holland spotted on scouting missions.<\/p>\n<p>It leaves the team second in Group F, three points behind Ukraine who beat Azerbaijan 1-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In what looks increasingly likely to be a straight shootout for the group win, the pair play each other in the penultimate game in October, and the Young Lions are in the rare position of playing catch-up.<\/p>\n<p>It is clearly a chase they can achieve and, while boss Lee Carsley will say otherwise, the last game with his youngsters until March was a stroll<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS<\/h3>\n<p><span>ENGLAND U21 (4-3-3):<\/span> Trafford 6;
