Everton edge a thriller at Goodison Park

Everton substitute Bernard's extra-time strike sealed a 5-4 victory over Tottenham in an FA Cup fifth-round thriller at Goodison Park.

The 28-year-old Brazilian has been on the fringes of the Everton squad, but settled a see-saw tie with a powerful left-footed strike in the 97th minute.

It meant Tottenham's wait for a first FA Cup triumph since 1991 goes on, but kept alive Everton's hopes of winning the trophy for the first time since 1995.

Man City set record run to cruise into FA Cup quarter-finals

Tottenham, who battled back from 3-1 and 4-3 down having taken the lead in the third minute, have now lost four of their last five games and while they played some admirable attacking football, they were undone by defensive frailties.

"I enjoyed it, and I didn't enjoy it!" Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho, who was up against respected rival Carlo Ancelotti, said of a breathless tie.

"We scored goals, created more chances, great character to fight against incredible mistakes. But attacking football only wins matches when you don't make more defensive mistakes than what you create. We scored four goals, but was not enough."

Everton were not at the races in the opening minutes and they fell behind in the third minute when Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez headed past Robin Olsen.

Tottenham could have been further ahead but their night fell apart in seven first-half minutes.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin levelled in the 36th minute when the excellent Gylfi Sigurdsson teed him up and his shot, though directed at Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris, was too powerful for the Frenchman.

Two minutes later Calvert-Lewin's flick opened up space for Richarlison, who beat Lloris with an angled low drive.

Sigurdsson then appeared to have dealt a hammer blow to his old club when he tucked home a penalty after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg had tripped Calvert-Lewin.

Erik Lamela's close-range finish in first-half stoppage time swung the momentum back to Tottenham though.

Defender Sanchez, who had scored only once in 137 appearances for Spurs, poked home his second of the night in the 53rd minute to haul Tottenham level.

Richarlison put Everton ahead again 10 minutes later when another great ball by Sigurdsson sent him clear.

Harry Kane had been left on the bench by Mourinho until the 53rd minute and he inevitably got Tottenham back into the tie when he headed in a superb cross from Son Heung-min in the 83rd minute.

The frenetic pace dropped a little in extra time but there were still chances for both sides.

But it was Bernard who decided it when Sigurdsson's deft pass cut out the Spurs defence and the Brazilian struck the ball across Lloris and into the net.

Chatham House Rule

A mark of Chatham House’s influence 100 years on since its founding,  was Moscow’s formal declaration last month that it was an “undesirable
organisation”. 

 

The depth of knowledge and academics that it drew on
following the Ukraine invasion had broadcast Mr Putin’s chicanery.  

 

The institute is more used to accommodating world leaders,
with Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher among those helping it provide
authoritative commentary on world events. 

 

Chatham House was formally founded as the Royal Institute of
International Affairs following the peace conferences of World War One. Its
founder, Lionel Curtis, wanted a more scientific examination of international affairs
with a transparent exchange of information and ideas.  

 

That arena of debate and analysis was enhanced by the “Chatham
House Rule” states that the contents of any meeting can be discussed outside Chatham
House but no mention can be made identifying individuals who commented.  

 

This has enabled some candid exchanges on difficult subjects
allowing a greater degree of free speech from high-ranking figures.  

 

These meetings are highly valued, so much so that
ambassadors reported them in secret diplomatic cables that – when they were
revealed in the Wikileaks reporting – were thus found to have broken the rule. However,
most speeches are held on the record.  

 

Its research and debate has offered fresh ideas to
policymakers enabling them to more coherently address troubling issues from climate
change to health and food security.
