UEFA Europa League: Everton lose to Krasnodar

Everton manager Roberto Martinez admits his team sweated bricks on the football pitch following his side's 1-0 defeat by FK Krasnodar. The changes made by the coach did no good to salvage the team from falling through to Ricardo Laborde's 30th minute netting. Skipper Joel Robles' error yielded a first-half goal for Krasnodar. Striker Arouna Kone returned after 14-month injury absence and made a full-time play. Ryan Ledson joined four other debutants to feature in the side's loss at Goodison Park. Martinez's youngsters played nervously in the first-half but dispelled their fear in the second half. Everton had earlier emerged as Group H winners anyway.
