EVERTON’S Polish goalkeeper Mateusz Taudul had to be at his best to save a crucial spot-kick during the U18s 3-2 win over Blackburn.

The 17-year-old was called into action with just 10 minutes left and made what proved to be a vital stop – when Blackburn then pulled a goal back in the closing moments.

Sheedy said: “He deserves praise for that save because it was important for us.”

Taudul signed for Everton aged 16, after making the move from popular Polish goalkeeping academy MSP Szamotuly.
