Segundo Castillo’s thunderbolt earned Everton a draw in a frantic first leg, first round Uefa Cup tie against Belgian champions Standard Liege.

Dieudonne Mbokani slotted Liege ahead before Yakubu fired in an equaliser.

Everton’s Joseph Yobo put a cross into his own net but Castillo’s 25-yard shot again hauled the home side level.

Everton pressed for a winner but survived a late penalty appeal when Wilfried Dalmat went down after a Joleon Lescott challenge.

An impressive Liege had given Everton notice of their threat during their Champions League qualifier against Merseyside rivals Liverpool in August.
