Stones, Browning & Galloway started today, all under 21.

Not many players score a hat-trick against the Premier League champions. With Jagielka by his side, the 21-year-old was able to push forward from the back numerous times in the match.
Browning is booked for a foul on Montero over on the far touchline.
Substitute Gerard Deulofeu then showed great skill to get to the touchline and fire in a unsafe cross that just evaded the outstretched boots of Lukaku and Naismith.
Swansea are appealing for a foul on Naughton by Galloway but the referee waves play on.
“We showed we are at least on an even keel with Everton”, he said.
There was plenty of good link-up play and Ross Barkley was at the heart of everything again, dominating proceedings. I do get the impression that one goal could seal it though.
Williams’ hero act continued as he cleared Lukaku’s mis-hit off the line, but Howard had to be alert at the other end as Montero tested him with a fizzing drive.
Another solid performance from Everton’s captain.
Slid in by Gareth Barry soon after the break, the Belgian striker skied his effort when one-on-one with Lukasz Fabianski – but he wasn’t the only player to be culpable in front of goal. He should have done better there! Everton ended up with twice as many interceptions (27 to 13) and used those turnovers to create their own chances.
“Ashley has made the decision to contact the ball and has contacted Naisy’s legs”. For instance, Bafi Gomis and Andre Ayew, who were free agents and we brought in on frees, so we’re not spending £14-20M plus.
Martinez has overseen two wins and two draws in his four Premier League games as Everton boss against the Swans.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez defended Kevin Mirallas after the winger was sent off within minutes of coming on against Swansea City. When it came about it was something I thought I had to consider.
Lukaku touches Naismith’s shot towards goal but Fabianksi does well to save down low. “With Garry I feel many good things can happen to Swansea“.

Everton’s player of the month for August kept the Toffees in the game early on with a few saves off Bafetimbi Gomis but didn’t have too much to do as the game went on. Tyson Wahl just got enough on a pass to the near post, where Finlay used his strength to hold off his defender before turning and firing home from close range.
