  1. PENALTYpublished at 64 mins

    Hajduk Split 1-1 Everton (1-3)

    Another twist. Ashley Williams dives in and goes through the back of the turning Ante Erceg.

    Hajduk need three goals to go through. Is this one of them...?

  2. Elsewhere in Europe...published at 21:19 British Summer Time 24 August 2017

    Ajax have scored twice in a minute at Rosenborg, they now lead 2-1 tonight and on away goals. Just under 20 minutes left.

    Their fellow Dutch side Utrecht are out, losing to Zenit St Petersburg in extra time (2-0 tonight, 2-1 on aggregate).

    Hajduk Split 1-1 Everton (1-3)

    Almost a goal at either end.

    First, Josip Radosevic is inches away from another blaster of a strike, firing his angled shot wide.

    Secondly, Gylfi Sigurdsson breaks away down the left but his low cross from inside the box - designed to set up Dominic Calvert-Lewin for a tap-in - is cut out.

    Cheeky. You'd think Morgan Schneiderlin might keep it on the down low after his red card at Man City but he goes piling into the back of a Hajduk player in the centre of the pitch and is fortunate not to go into the book.

    For a second it looks like Hajduk are going to have a pop from about 50 yards - the precedent has been set - but instead they waste it after taking short.

    The home side are having a good little spell. Plenty of pressure but when the time comes to pull the trigger Hysen Memolla misjudges it and slices his shot from range high and wide.

    That Gylfi strike has knocked the stuffing out of Hajduk. They are just starting to rally a bit now, but Everton show resilience to prevent a couple of crosses from the right causing any problems.

    Right then, here's a question for you... what is the best first goal scored by a player for their new club you have ever seen?

    Preferably, you'll have seen it live but I'm not fussy. Tweet us at #bbcfootball.

    Gylfi's is definitely up there.

    It came just 16 seconds into the second half.

    Gylfi Sigurdsson

    Wait... what?!

    Oh man, wait until you see this goal! Gylfi Sigurdsson has just announced himself to Everton fans in the most spectacular fashion. The ball breaks loose from a poor attempted clearance by a Hajduk defender on the right and the Icelandic midfielder unleashes a looping, dipping dream of a shot from 50 yards that goes over the keeper and plants itself in the bottom corner.

    I said Everton needed a goal. I wasn't expecting it to look like that, though!

  10. KICK-OFFpublished at 21:03 British Summer Time 24 August 2017

    Hajduk Split 1-0 Everton (1-2)

    We are back under way. And there is a change. A heart-warming one. Aaron Lennon, who has had his troubles of late, is on for Ademola Lookman.

    Here we go then. The players are back out.

    Everton could really do with a goal. It's not absolutely vital, but it will make matters a lot less stressful.

  12. Watford bag Carrillopublished at 20:58 British Summer Time 24 August 2017

    Bit of transfer news to bring you...

    Benfica winger Andre Carrillo has signed for Watford on a season-long loan, with the option for a permanent transfer next summer.

    Watford boss Marco Silva worked with Carrillo at Sporting Lisbon, where he spent five years before joining Portuguese rivals Benfica last summer.

    The 26-year-old was part of the Peru squad that finished third at the 2015 Copa America.

    He only made three league starts for Benfica last season.

    Hajduk Split 1-0 Everton (1-2)

    Worryingly for Everton, they faded in that half as a threat.

    They had a couple of efforts in the first quarter and looked capable of posing Hajduk problems but the home side looked the only likely scorers as they half wore on.

    That will have to change second half. They can't give Hajduk any encouragement, especially if Radosevic is going to hammer them in from a mile out.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 45 mins

    Hajduk Split 1-0 Everton (1-2)

    Radosevic's blast is the last act of note in the half. Not a bad way to cap it.

    Everton need to take stock. For much of that half they handled the home side well.

    Different game now.

    Wow! Did you see that?! He must have foot like a traction engine!

    Josip Radosevic unleashes an absolute thunderblast of a strike from 35 yards (maybe more) that rockets past Jordan Pickford and into the top corner.

    Stunning goal. Game on.

    Big save from JP! The ball is crossed over from the right, missed by Ahmed Said with an overhead kick and finds Ante Erceg just 10 yards out from goal on an angle. He has enough space to get away a shot, that is heading for the far corner following a little nick from Michael Keane until Jordan Pickford's hand pushes it wide.

    That is what £30m gets you.

    The home fans are the ones whistling, but Everton are the ones feeling aggrieved. Wayne Rooney goes down in the box under a challenge from Borja Lopez. I'd have to see it again to see the amount of contact. My instinct is that there isn't enough in it to warrant a spot-kick.

    Everton get themselves into a bit of bother when Michael Keane is unable to see the ball out for a goal-kick. Ahmed Said slides and keeps it in and it requires a block from two other away players to prevent Ante Erceg testing Jordan Pickford.

    In case you are wondering, Hajduk Split are not sponsored by a pinball wizard but a supermarket chain.

    I might have googled that.
