VIDEO: Rising Irish star sets up goal for Everton under-21s with the most beautiful improvised corner

Conan Doherty

Harry Charsley, remember that name.

Everton under-21s threatened to steal Cristiano Ronaldo’s limelight on Tuesday night with their 2-0 win over Chelsea.

But it was this creative corner routine that caught the eye most as David Unsworth’s men opened up the opposition expertly for Mason Holgate to score.

And the assist from Irish underage international Harry Charsley made it.

Combining with Kieran Dowell, the Ireland under-21 player took a short corner and darted across the byline before looping one beautifully onto the head of the scorer.

Charsley is capped three times for Noel King’s Ireland side and won the Everton under-18 player of the season award two campaigns ago.

His official name is Henry but goes by the name Harry. Born in Wirral in the northwest of England, he has been playing with the Ireland national team since under-17 level.

He’s described as a wide player with a knack for timing his runs into the box to perfection.

We’ll be seeing a lot more of this guy.
