Everton FC reserves: John Paul Kissock back for draw with Blackburn
TEENAGE midfielder John Paul Kissock impressed in his first Everton reserve team appearance since returning from a loan spell at Accrington Stanley, but the Blues had to settle for a point against Blackburn at the Halton Stadium.
Jason Lowe put Rovers in front but Hope Akpan equalised.
Everton fell behind after 17 minutes as they paid the price for failing to clear a corner. However, just eight minutes later Akpan fired past the keeper to level proceedings.
After the break Blackburn's Marcus Marshall blazed wide before Roque Santa Cruz skied a chance.
Blues keeper Iain Turner had to be at his best to keep out Jason Lowe's shot and Everton nearly won it late on.
Kieran Agard latched onto Eunan O'Kane's cross but failed to hit the target.
