Jeremy Doku scored a 97th minute equaliser to rescue a draw on our first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Belgian fired us into a lead shortly before half-time with a sumptuous curling strike from the edge of the box.
But Everton turned the game on its head with three goals in the space of 13 minutes.
From the kick-off from Everton’s third goal, Erling Haaland raced onto Mateo Kovacic’s throughball to pull a goal back.
And there was to be a late twist with Doku firing in another wonderful long-range strike in the dying seconds.
