In some of the other day's matches, Rafa Benitez's Everton were down to 10 men after 59 minutes at Championship side Huddersfield Town when forward Moise Kean was shown a straight red with the score at 1-1, but Andros Townsend grabbed a 79th minute winner for the visitors. The goal was new signing Townsend's first for the Toffees and came after Tom Lee's header on the stroke of half-time had cancelled out Alex Iwobi's 26th minute opener for Everton. Kean had the ball in the net but was ruled offside and then saw red after an off the ball incident.
