Wednesday’s Toffee Bites: Inside Brands’ brain, Everton dispatch Gor Mahia, praise for Mina

Recapping all the Everton news from yesterday

Everton fans will be excused for having some pretty bitter memories about this one. Wins away at the top six sides don’t come by very often, and the Toffees looked to have sealed one at Chelsea four seasons ago. However, the referee contrived to somehow allow the game to go for extra minutes as well as completely overlooking some pretty blatant fouling for Chelsea to equalize beyond time added on.
