Crofts 46 Cahill 6,38,71
Surman 58 Bilyaletdinov 59
Everton scored another preseason win as they beat Norwich 4-2 at Carrow Road, with Tim Cahill scoring a hat-trick.
The opening goal came after only 6 minutes when former Everton keeper John Ruddy spilled Cahill's tame shot and the ball found its way into the net. The lead was increased on 38 minutes. Jermaine Beckford did well on the right flank to find Cahill, who combined with Mikel Arteta. Cahill received the ball again and found the net at the second attempt after his first shot was blocked.
At the start of the second half the home side got a goal back when Andrew Crofts took advantage of poor defending from Tony Hibbert and Joseph Yobo to head home.
The Canaries equalised through Andrew Surman on 58 minutes but Everton immediately hit back through Diniyar Bilyaletdinov. The Russian received the ball on the edge of the box and unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner.
The win was completed on 71 minutes when Cahill scored his third of the game.
