Everton (0-3) 3-10-14 19 pts.

Richard Lee was the victim in at goal as Everton administered a 3-0 spanking at Vicarage Road today. Fernandes lit up the scoreboard first (asst Cahill) at minute 23 on a shot from inside the penalty box on what would have been a foul had he not scored. Andy Johnson followed a minute later drawing a foul from Malkay MacKay and earning Jay DeMerit a yellow card. Johnson converted the opportunity with a penalty shot up the center to run the score to 2-0. There it stood until salt was rubbed in the wounds as Osman (asst Beattie) scored the final 2 minutes into penalty time.

Other notables: Tommy Smith earned a yellow card at the end of the first half and Tamas Priskin played well, coming on for Henderson after the half and getting 4 shots in.

We held steady with Shefield United (lost), Wigan (play tomorrow), and West Ham but lost three points to Charlton is they trounced West Ham 4-0. We'll get a chance to make up those points next Saturday as we host Charlton. Game time is 9:00 St. Louis time. I don't think it's on FSC but I'll check later in the week to see if it is on Setanta.
