Two Flying Eagles-eligible strikers nominated for Everton Goal of the Month

Two Flying Eagles-eligible strikers have been nominated for Everton's Goal of the Month award for November 2022.

Toffees U18s player Coby Ebere and development squad star Francis Okoronkwo have been shortlisted for the monthly award. 

Ebere was double nominated for his effort against Southampton in an U18 Premier League Cup fixture on November 5, and his goal against Liverpool in the U18 Premier League on November 26.

Okoronkwo's stunning strike against Birmingham City in a Premier League Cup game on November 25 has been nominated. 

Against Southampton U18s, Ebere, latched onto a deflected ball and fired into the bottom corner from close range to equalize for the Toffees just before the hour mark, and in the Merseyside derby he finished off a counter-attacking move to make it 2-0 in the 86th minute. 

Okoronkwo opened the scoring against Birmingham City in the 44th minute when he  cleverly slotted past goalkeeper Bradley Mayo.

The two Anglo-Nigerian teenagers are up against Demarai Gray, Neal Maupay, Anthony Gordon, Martin Sherif, Katja Snoeijs, Liam Higgins and Tom Cannon for the Goal of the Month award.
