Frank Lampard’s side were left shellshocked as they found themselves three goals behind after just 36 minutes before conceding a fourth in the second period.

Heath won two First Division titles, the FA Cup and UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup during his playing days at Goodison Park between 1981-89.

And he couldn’t be happier with Minnesota’s victory against his former club.

Speaking after the game, Heath said: “Terrific night. I was really pleased with the second group as well considering there were a lot of young guys there, probably the biggest game they have ever played in.

“It's been a really good evening. I wanted us to maintain the current form we've been going in and I thought we were excellent, there was some really good stuff.

“We scored some quality goals, had some good performance - especially with some of the youngster guys - so it's been a really good evening.

“It's a huge part of my life, Everton Football Club. Everyone knows how much the game means to me.

“It's a special night for us. Thanks to all the supporters who have turned out in great numbers and the players have done really well and given them something to cheer.”
