George Green cut inside to score a nice goal late.

Everton 3 - 0 Real Madrid
Loic Hourcade made a run from deep, fired an accurate shot from just inside the top of the box, and just like that, the rout was on. Willy van der Putten added a brace, and despite Real Madrid's attack-minded formation, it could not get a single shot on target.

Everton 3 - 0 Norwich
Norwich had no match for the combined class of Everton. Armand Mbock had a great performance, with two assists, but it was Willy van der Putten who set up the first goal, getting wide open on a long ball, cutting into the box from the right wing, dancing effortlessly around two defenders, passing to Mbock who slid it over for Gomez for the easy poach. Gomez scored again on a corner kick from Mbock, and Everton's third goal came when Tarek Said cleaned up Gomez's missed header off a corner kick.
