Everton U-23 coach David Unsworth has praised Ellis Simms and Jarrad Branthwaite following Monday’s 2-1 Premier League 2 win over Brighton.
Speaking to the
Toffees’ website, Unsworth has admitted that the 'outstanding' duo are now 'first-team players'.
Both Branthwaite and Simms have shown professional performance and maturity in the Albion clash at Merseyside.
"They were outstanding,” said the Toffees' boss.
The 2 youngsters have spent much of this season training with Rafael Benitez’s senior squad but stepped down from their first-team duties to produce 45 minute cameos against Brighton.
“It’s not just their performances but their attitude to stepping down to the Under-23s. They’re now first-team players, which is brilliant,” Unsworth added.
“They’ve had their time with us and they’ve been a pleasure to work with. Their attitude was outstanding and that’s all you can ask when the first-team boys step down. All credit to them.”
