A new season begins

Missed the first 8 minutes of the Everton and Blackburn match because I was having a shower after my Bball session. Blackburn's play was promising with the Rovers players dominating the match by camping in the Everton half. Dunn scores a superb left footed curler from outside the box in the 22nd minute. Good start for new boss, Paul Ince, so far.
The bliss doesn't last. Arteta scores an audacious goal from a direct freekick before halftime. Damn!!! Halftime show... it is reported that Stoke is getting whacked by 3-0 scoreline... to Bolton!!! Looks like Stoke City is this year's Derby County. Keke.
Yakubu eats Warnock for lunch by climbing above him to power home Arteta's cross. Quick reply by Blackburn as Santa Cruz equalizes by slotting the ball under Tim Howard. Both goals came after the hour mark. 70+ mins and Moyes introduces a 16 year old. Jose Baxter... Everton's youngest ever debutante... even younger than Rooney made his debut for them.
Ooijer scores his first goal for Blackburn in the 93rd min!!! Winning goal!!! "Who are ya!!! Who are ya!!!" 3-2 to Rovers and a winning start for Paul Ince.
