# Everton: Fans laud Francis Okoronkwo goal

**Many Everton fans have been left lauding some footage that has emerged involving their Academy player Francis Okoronkwo.**

As shared by Everton Academy’s official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/EvertonAcademy/status/1482076517358313475) page, the winger cut inside the defender neatly before unleashing a curling effort into the opposite corner past the goalkeeper from outside of the box.

The Merseyside club’s U18 team were playing Sheffield United at Goodison Park in the FA Youth Cup on Friday night, and that goal put them 1-0 up.

The game finished [2-1](https://twitter.com/EvertonAcademy/status/1482093973992845315) in the end, and so the U18’s went through into the round of 16, where they will now play Manchester United away from home.
