Everton’s poor run of form continued on Tuesday night as they were beaten 3-1 by Newcastle United at St. James' Park.
But while Frank Lampard’s side were once again suffering more misery, one Everton youngster enjoyed a night to remember.
Lewis Warrington made his first start for Tranmere Rovers, since joining the League 2 club on loan from the Blues.
The 19-year-old midfielder was snapped up by Rovers boss Micky Mellon on transfer deadline day, arriving at Prenton Park on a loan deal that runs until the end of the season.

And it appears that the Blues youngster certainly caught the eye as Rovers claimed a 3-0 win over Swindon Town at Prenton Park on Tuesday night.
Warrington has impressed for Everton under-23s this season, making 13 appearances in Premier League 2, and three in the EFL Trophy.
Speaking about Warrington's capture to the club's official website last week, Mellon said: “I’m delighted to bring Lewis in. He’ll complement what we already have in the midfield.
“It’s good to have that other midfield player in there to give us something a little bit different. He’ll give us a bit of variety and quality and he’s someone we’ve watched for a long time.
“It’s great to be able to have these relationships with these other clubs. We must be one of the only clubs with players on loan from Celtic, Rangers, Liverpool and Everton.
“Lewis is very highly rated and a very talented lad. Now we need to help him establish himself using the qualities that he’s got to help us get results.”
