Everton under-23s were tonight celebrating after being confirmed Premier League 2 champions.

Manchester City's defeat to Liverpool at Prenton Park this evening means David Unsworth's side cannot be caught at the top of the table.

With one game remaining, the Blues are in an unassailable lead on 48 points with City's 3-2 loss against Liverpool leaving them on 42 points.

The championship is deserved reward for Unsworth's side, who have been beaten only three times in their 23 games this campaign.

Their campaign is even more impressive given a number of potential regulars, such as Tom Davies and Mason Holgate, have instead been consistently involved in the first team.

Everton U23s edged closer to the title with a point at Chelsea on Friday night in Aldershot, drawing 2-2.

Everton’s final game of the season is against Liverpool on Monday, May 8 at Goodison.

The Blues have announced that the game is free entry to all supporters.
