Krasnodar FK 1 : 1 Everton - Eto'o salvages point for Everton

Everton striker Samuel Eto'o marked his return to Russia with a late equaliser as his side snatched a 1-1 draw at FK Krasnodar in Europa League Group H.

The 33-year-old former Anzhi Makhachkala player stabbed in Leighton Baines' cross in the 82nd minute to ensure the Toffees took a point from a game in which they had been second best for much of the time.

Krasnodar took a deserved lead in the 43rd minute through Brazilian striker Ari, who capitalised on a mistake by Everton captain Phil Jagielka - their goalscoring hero from Saturday's Merseyside derby draw at Liverpool - to fire in.

The hosts came close to making it 2-0 after the break when substitute Wanderson's shot hit the bar.

But the 400 or so Everton fans who made the 2,000-mile plus journey to the Kuban Stadium will return home happy thanks to Eto'o's late intervention, which leaves the Toffees with four points after two Group H matches.
