Sweet Success - An Everton Story

Travis Blasts 'Humiliating' performance: Reading 4-0 Everton

Everton were humbled at the Madejski stadium by a clinical Reading side. Hal Robson-Kanu scored twice before Adam Le Fondre added a double of his own. This is the joint biggest defeat Everton have suffered in 3 years and Joe Travis was not happy.

"We were pathetic." he said. "I've never seen us play that badly. It was humiliating and I will be having words."

Addison and Kakuta join

Everton today confirmed the dual signing of Gael Kakuta and Miles Addison from Chelsea and Bournemouth respectively.

Kakuta, 22, joined in a cut-price 650k deal as Chelsea looked keen to get rid of the pacey winger. Addison cost 3.4 million from Bournemouth, who were desperate not to lose their prize asset.

Comeback ensures Toffees victory: Newcastle 2-4 Everton

Despite being 2-0 down after 25 minutes, Everton bounced back in superb fashion to claim their second victory of the season. Orellana and Cabaye had the Magpies 2-0 up before Jelavic's header gave Everton a way back at the interval. Mattia Destro levelled in the 65th minute before Kevin Mirallas scored with 5 minutes to go. The Toffees fan's jubilation was soon to become pandemonium as Mirallas squared for Destro to flick home and complete the comeback.
