Torquay go down in thriller
Everton Vaughan 10' Gueye 90' 2-1 Torquay Grant 64'
Torquay travelled to Goodison Park to face the 3rd placed Everton. The visitors got enough to a dissmal start with Mikel Arterta playing a classy through ball for James Vaughan who had no trouble finishing the job. Torquay were out of sorts as Everton dominated the play, but could not add to there tally with a 1-0 halftime lead. The second half started much the same with Torquay desperate in defence to keep the homeside at bay. Finally in the 64th minute Jamaican Striker Joel Grant weaved past 2 defenders across the face of goal and drilled the ball past Tim Howard. For the next 25 minutes both teams played free flowing attacking Football trying to pull in a winner. Finally in the 90th minute the visitors were caugh knapping when Gueye recieved a ground cross to slot the winner in injury time. This game still had more excitement to come with Baruffaldi being fouled on the edge of the area after the restart. Joel Grant thumped the free-kick low, but was denied by Tim Howard. Grant then whipped in a corner, but was cleared to safety and finally the whistle was blown. A disapointing result for Torquay who face 2nd placed Aston Villa at Villa Park in there next match.
