Everton held a narrow 2-0 advantage heading into their second leg Europa League qualifying playoff against Hajduk Split in Croatia.

21-year-old USMNT midfielder Lynden Gooch made a successful start to his club season on Tuesday, scoring the game-winning goal for Sunderland in their 2-1 victory over Carlisle in the EFL Cup.
