Everton

DOMINIC KING AT GOODISON PARK: The ball nestled in the Gwladys Street net but Frank Lampard's demeanour remained as it had done all night.

We have to keep going and use the feeling of the fans and the togetherness. You would have expected, perhaps, the breaking of the seal to open the floodgates but that wasn’t the case, as Boreham Wood kept their shape and remained in with a chance. There will be more enjoyable days and if Palace are beaten in two weeks and Everton find themselves on the way back to Wembley, none of this will matter. The visitors came with a game plan to frustrate, they took their time with goal kicks and set pieces and generally made nuisances of themselves. The breakthrough arrived in the 56th minute, when Rondon pounced in front of the Gwladys Street. Everton attacked with speed of a malfunctioning steam train, chugging along the tracks. it was John Lennon’s wish 51 years ago but things in the world seems even worse at present. Credit to Boreham Wood for stifling Everton but Lampard knew things should have been so much better. As they did so, Imagine was played at full volume and the crowd responded, singing it word for word. That story never threatened to unfold – Boreham Wood needed to have a shot if they wanted to win – but, still, the scene summed up the night. What this group has done is fantastic and we have been in the last 16 of a national cup competition. The two teams came onto the pitch, with Ukraine flags draped over their shoulders, and stood side-by-side.

There was no seismic upset at Goodison Park but no FA Cup rout or humiliation either. Boreham Wood, bidding to become only the second non-league club to reach ...

The sombre opening gave way to a fiercely committed display from Boreham Wood and palpable frustration in the Everton ranks as a result. The Brazil international replaced Nathan Patterson, who has had to be patient for his debut since arriving from Rangers in January and could count himself unfortunate to be withdrawn. Andros Townsend collected Gordon’s short corner and floated a cross to the far post where the centre-forward powered a header beyond Ashby-Hammond, the ball crossing the line before the keeper clawed it away. Boreham Wood pressed immediately with a three-man forward line and caused several palpitations in the Gwladys Street end at Everton’s awkward attempts to escape. Ukraine international Vitalii Mykolenko, the club’s January signing from Dynamo Kyiv, was named captain for the night by Lampard. He led out an Everton team draped in Ukraine flags, as were the players of Boreham Wood, and as the teams emerged on to the pitch the traditional pre-match strains of Z-Cars were replaced by John Lennon’s Imagine. Both sets of players gathered behind a blue and yellow banner carrying a hopeful, poignant line from the song. The Hertfordshire club defended expertly throughout and underlined why they are firmly in pursuit of promotion to the Football League this season.
