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:

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

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:

Bernard finishes in style but this is all about the Gylfi Sigurdsson assist 🤩#EmiratesFACup pic.twitter.com/Bpyp90rQF3
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.
Carlo Ancelotti's reaction to Everton scoring a FIFTH goal in extra-time of the craziest of FA Cup clashes.
