Two former Flying Eagles invitees in the shape of Korede Adedoyin and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru found the net for Accrington Stanley and Sheffield Wednesday respectively on the opening day of the Football League season.
In a League One tie at the Wham Stadium in Lancashire, Accrington Stanley and Charlton Athletic shared the spoils with a 2-2 draw.
Everton academy product Adedoyin was the hero for the home team as he salvaged a point with a 96th minute equaliser.
With defeat looming after Miles Leaburn struck in the 94th minute, the Nigerian-born winger scored from close range to secure a point for Accrington Stanley.
The 21-year-old has now netted two career goals for The Reds in the League One since joining them from Sheffield Wednesday in the January transfer window.
Adedoyin's former teammate, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru also grabbed a crucial equaliser as Sheffield Wednesday drew 3-3 with Portsmouth.
Dele-Bashiru restored the Owls lead in the 52nd minute and with nine minutes remaining fired in an unstoppable shot from distance to make it 3-3.
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru's double against Portsmouth this afternoon meant that he became the first Sheffield Wednesday player to score an opening day brace since Marcus Tudgay and Akpo Sodje against Burnley back in 2008.
