Fri 10 Oct 2007Everton show their mettle in MetalistUefa Cup First round, second leg; Metalist Kharkiv 2 Everton 3: Until last month few Everton players or fans would have been able to pinpoint Kharkiv on a map of eastern Europe, but it will be a long time before anyone belonging to the blue half of Merseyside forgets this industrial city in northern Ukraine.The substitute Victor Anichebe made sure of Everton's progress here with a goal two minutes from time, but for a while David Moyes's side looked as if they could be heading out.
