Nigeria striker Victor Anichebe got on target for Everton for the first time in over a year as they rounded off their tour of the USA with a deserved 3-1 win over DC United on Sunday.
The 23-year-old broke the deadlock after just four minutes when he raced onto a through ball by Leighton Baines to beat the goalkeeper from a tight angle.
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov doubled the Toffees' advantage in the 16th minute after finishing off a fine team goal, while new boy Magaye Gueye scored late on to seal the win after Chris Pontius gave the hosts hope shortly after the restart.
The goal will be a confidence boost for Anichebe, who failed to score for Everton last season, ahead of the new campaign.
