Alex Iwobi helped Everton seal their 4-2 win against Lincoln in the League Cup second round on Wednesday.
Everton had earlier fallen behind after only 20 seconds before fighting back to lead 2-1.
Lincoln’s Bruno Andrade scored a stunning 70th-minute equaliser, but Iwobi nodded in and Richarlison scored late on to send Marco Silva’s men into round three.
Close-season arrivals Moise Kean, Djibril Sidibe, Iwobi and Fabian Delph all made their full debuts for Everton, but the visitors suffered a disastrous start at Sincil Bank as Harry Anderson slotted into the net after a burst forward from Jack Payne.

However, the equaliser only came in the 36th minute when Lucas Digne curled a magnificent 30-yard free-kick into the top corner.
Teenage striker Kean, signed from Juventus earlier this month for 27.5 million euros ($31m, £25m), almost scored his first goal in English football shortly before half-time but saw his powerful effort crash against the near post.
Also, Iwobi got off the mark for his new club after joining from Arsenal on deadline day, heading in from close range in the 81st minute just as he was set to be replaced by Theo Walcott.
