HtmlUnit click anchor does not trigger javascript click eventListener

I'm trying to programmatically click on an anchor using HtmlUnit. I have following options set.

    webClient.options.isThrowExceptionOnScriptError = false
    webClient.options.isThrowExceptionOnFailingStatusCode = false
    webClient.options.isJavaScriptEnabled = true

I fixed all of the js warnings and I see js console.log() output in my logs, but not the ones defined in the

item.eventListner('click', function() {
    console.log("test")
}

So, it seems that the listener does not trigger onClick. Also defining onClick inline with the anchor element produces an output.

<a name="word" href="#" onClick="console.log(1);" id=${i++}>$word</a>
