Everton have broken a record which stood for 133 years with an astonishing 22-0 victory over ATV Irdning to kick off their pre-season.

That scoreline is the most the Blues have ever managed in a single match in their history, eclipsing a 14-0 win against New Ferry in the Liverpool Senior Cup back in 1885 - level with a win by the same scoreline against Notts Rangers five years later.

Kevin Mirallas bagged five goals after coming on as a second half substitute for Everton , with Oumar Niasse and Cenk Tosun both managing to score four goals each.

Ademola Lookman claimed a hat-trick, Nikola Vlasic scored twice whilst Leighton Baines, Mason Holgate and Michael Keane also found the scoresheet.

The other goal was a rather comical own goal from one of the hosts, who chipped his own goalkeeper from outside the box.

That was the first match of Marco Silva's reign in charge of the club and he's got off to a flying start, although it was against opponents who play in the fifth tier of Austrian football.

Everton will now go on to play Bury in midweek before travelling to Portugal to face Lille and Porto in the Algarve Cup next weekend as the club's pre-season schedule kicks on.
