Still in shock after their new stadium plans were put in doubt by Government intervention, Everton laboured through this friendly with the Dutch champions.

Nordin Amrabat gave PSV a deserved first-half lead with a fine solo goal but with just a few minutes left, Joseph Yobo was brought down in the area and Arteta drilled the spot-kick past Andreas Isaksson.

But it will take more than this late reprieve to boost confidence and belief and boss David Moyes knows he must move in the transfer market, and quickly.

Everton gave youngsters Jack Rodwell and Dan Gosling another run-out, and with Moyes' squad being so thin he may well have to use his aspiring teenage stars when the Barclays Premier League campaign gets under way next weekend.

But having sold Andrew Johnson, and with half-a-dozen departures from the ranks from last term, Moyes knows he has to replenish his squad.

The likeliest new face is Newcastle's Alan Smith, a deal could be completed next week. But the need for more acquisitions was obvious.

Tim Cahill will not have recovered from his metatarsal operation to start the new season, Victor Anichebe is away at the Olympic Games and James Vaughan could be suspended by then for his red card in the United States last week.

The Toffees started this friendly well enough and Steven Pienaar, who knows all about PSV from his time with Ajax, almost worked his way through on a couple of occasions.

One of his runs ended with the ball breaking for Ayegbeni Yakubu in the box, and his low shot cannoned over off former Manchester City goalkeeper Isaksson's knee.

PSV looked comfortable in the first half, and their goal in the 32nd minutes was a gem.

Amrabat surged into the box - shrugging off Leon Osman on the way - and curled a fine angled effort into the top corner.

The Eredivisie side maintained possession with ease, particularly in midfield, and Moyes moved Phil Jagielka into midfield to exert his influence after the break with Joleon Lescott coming on at the back.

Everton sent on Nuno Valente for Leighton Baines, and promising youngster Lukas Jutkiewicz for Rodwell while Pienaar was replaced by highly-rated Jose Baxter.

The 16-year-old's arrival injected more spark into Everton and the Bootle-born midfielder blasted one effort high over before Yakubu stirred into life to curl another effort just wide.

James Wallace, also 16, replaced Phil Neville in the 85th minute before Arteta's penalty ensured honours were even for Moyes' young side.
