Ashley Cole takes up new Everton role as pre-match tradition returns (Liverpool Echo)

We take a look at five moments you might have missed on Friday evening as Everton secured a victory against Dynamo Kyiv in their final pre-season match of ...

Clement did similar during the second half of last season as he attempted to improve Everton's fortunes in that sense. Dynamo Kyiv found themselves in similar scenarios throughout Friday evening's match and did create some chances, but didn't manage to find the back of the net. As revealed earlier this month, Ashley Cole has been handed a new behind-the-scenes role at Everton before the start of the 2022/23 season. From there, the England No.1 picked out a pinpoint pass to the right flank where Patterson had found space to comfortably win an aerial duel to set up a potential attack for his side. While the mascot situation might have been something very new for this pre-season game, soon things returned back to normality. And, Jordan Pickford had seemingly also been given the same instructions.

The Everton vs Dynamo Kyiv, a pre-season friendly match on Friday night, featured a heartwarming moment when the EPL side allowed a fan to take a penalty ...

While Dominic Calvert-Lewin opened the scoresheet for Everton with a goal in the first half and Dwight McNeil bagged a brace, Stratton became the most talked about point of the match. Stratton was then spotted kissing the Everton badge on his shirt, before exchanging a few words with coach Frank Lampard. After the match, Everton took to their official Twitter handle and shared the video of Stratton hitting the penalty kick. It should be mentioned that, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Stratton traveled all the way to the Ukrainian border in Poland, 1300 miles away from his home. Stratton didn’t disappoint his fellow Everton fans as he converted the penalty kick into a goal and helped the English side earn a 4-0 win against the Ukrainian club. The fan was revealed as a 44-year-old man named Paul Stratton, who made headlines for his efforts to help the Ukrainian refugees who were affected by the Russia-Ukraine war. As Stratton made his way out to the field, the entire crowd at Goodison Park cheered him up and were much elated to see him score a goal.

"They came into it a little bit at different times, but what we wanted out of the game was more fitness. "I thought it was a really good evening," Lampard said, as per the club’s website. We were purposeful with our passes, playing some longer balls to get up the pitch, staying on the ball, creating some early chances, and then the goal came.

Everton fans will love what three Academy starlets chose to do after ... (Liverpool Echo)

Lewis Warrington, Stanley Mills and Reece Welch were given another opportunity to impress on Friday evening as Everton welcomed Dynamo Kyiv to Goodison Park ...

Their circumstances are similar to Warrington - they have had heavy involvement in the senior side this summer, got a fair amount of game time, and want to keep themselves as fresh and determined as possible. From that point, and with his heavy involvement in pre-season with the senior side, it might have been easy for Warrington to allow himself a rest this weekend. Blues supporters will remember the ground-swell of support for the youngster to pick up a new contract in the summer, and that was a fine reward for his efforts while on loan. But, the youngster instead was keen to turn out for the U21s, which might seem like a simple move but it is one which once again shows the fire that lies beneath the surface. He might have been involved with the senior side throughout the summer, but he still knows the importance of getting minutes under his belt. It wasn't necessarily a significant amount of time that the youngsters were given, certainly not compared to their appearances against Arsenal earlier in the summer particularly.
