The US club started to lead the pack through a spot-kick and were 3-0 up before half time. They scored again with close to 10 minutes left to adjust a hopeless day for Everton.
The Toffees' presentation was summarized by a shocking Dele Alli miss. He got the objective under his control from only two or three yards out. Be that as it may, he some way or another figured out how to miss the objective.
