Watch: All the goals as Everton beat Spurs in nine-goal FA Cup thriller


The Magic of the FA Cup is well and truly alive as Everton beat Tottenham in a nine-goal thriller after extra-time in the fifth round at Goodison Park.

It all started in the third minute when Davinson Sanchez connected with Son Heung-min's early corner:

But Everton were soon back level through top-scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the 36th minute:

And two minutes later Richarlison turned things around and put the hosts in front:

Toffees skipper Gylfi Sigurdsson then doubled the advantage from the spot in the 43rd minute after Calvert-Lewin was clipped by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg:

But right on half-time Spurs pulled a goal back. Erik Lamela to Son to Lamela, 3-2:

Into the second half and 12 minutes after the restart Sanchez grabbed his second to level up the tie:

But Richarlison then netted his second in the 68th minute to restore Everton's lead with this finish on the angle:

Everton looked as if they'd hold out 4-3 winners only for substitute Harry Kane to force extra-time in the 83rd minute:

But in the first period after the 90 the hosts retook the lead through Bernard. 5-4 to the Blues:

And that was the game. The Toffees held on and are now in the hat for the sixth round. Instant classic. Not bad for a cold Wednesday night.
