Seamus Coleman, 7 - A confident, composed display as you’d expect from the Everton skipper, who must have thought he’d assisted the opener when his super cross from the right found the head of Richarlison, but the bar came to the rescue. AFP

James Rodriguez 8, Dominic Calvert-Lewin 7; Joey Pelupessy 6: Everton v Sheffield Wednesday player ratings

A 3-0 win for the Premier League side was notable for the debut of Thierry Small, who became the club's youngest ever player

Everton booked their place in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday night after a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Goodison Park.

England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin opened the scoring with his 15th goal of the season just before the half-hour mark. Brazilian forward Richarlison doubled the hosts' advantage midway through the second half before Yerry Mina added the third three minutes later.

A routine win for the Premier League side against second-tier opposition was notable for the debut of Thierry Small, who came off the bench to become Everton's youngest ever player at the age of 16 years of 176 days.

Everton will face either Wycombe Wanderers or Tottenham Hotspur for a place in the sixth round.
