FA Cup

EVERTON have beaten Boreham Wood to reach the FA Cup quarter-final.It took 55 minutes for the Toffees to break the National League side’s resistance but Salomon Rondon managed to steal in at the near post and put them ahead.
And he then bagged a second as goalkeeper Taye Ashby-Hammond palmed the Venezuelan’s header away only to find the ball had already crossed the line.
As a result, Everton face Crystal Palace away in the FA Cup quarter-final.
That’s all from us at Goodison Park
So, Everton are off to Selhurst Park for the quarter finals to play what promises to be a very intriguing tie against Crystal Palace.
It’s the end of the road for National League Boreham Wood, who will make the long trip home to prepare for their fight for promotion.
But, what a story they have given us. Goodnight!
‘I needed to play’ – Kane Smith
Boreham Wood midfielder, Kane Smith received a standing ovation from the fans after playing 70 minutes against his beloved Everton club, despite still nursing an injury.
Oh, the magic of the FA Cup, making dreams come true.
The Garrard’s British Bulldogs
These were the words written on a banner paraded around the pitch by Boreham Wood manager, Luke Garrard.
His side certainly guarded their goal for the first half, but couldn’t sustain the tempo in the second.
‘I love all of you’ he shouts at the travelling fans, before starting the chant ‘we are going up, we are going up!’
In truth, this is the real aim of Boreham Wood’s season, and the fans will hope that tonight’s experience will help them towards promotion.
Good job, sir.
FULL-TIME – Everton 2-0 Boreham Wood
Rondon chops The Wood
The Toffees striker puts end to Boreham Wood’s fairytale Cup Run.
It’s all finished at Goodison Park, with Everton knocking the National league side out of the FA Cup. Their wonderful adventure comes to an end at the hands, or should I say feet and head, of Salomon Rondon, who scored both goals in a much improved Everton second half.
Boreham Wood stayed in the game for 57 minutes, but struggled to get a hold of any kind of possession. In the end the players couldn’t withhold the constant Everton attacks on their goal. But the non-league side should be very proud of how far they’ve come.

THE FA Cup quarter-final draw has been made.And Middlesbrough will have to pull off a third giant killing as they host Chelsea.

Crystal Palace vs Everton
Nottingham Forest or Huddersfield vs Liverpool
Middlesbrough vs Chelsea
Southampton vs Manchester City

Boro hoping to beat Blues
Middlesbrough face a tough task against Chelsea.
That’s because the Blues have won the EIGHT meetings between the two sides.
The last time Boro beat Chelsea was in 2006.
And the match is also a repeat of the iconic 1997 final, which saw the Londoners emerged victorious.
FT – Everton 2 Boreham Wood 0
Crystal Palace will play Everton in the FA Cup quarters after the Toffees beat Boreham Wood 2-0.
Salomon Rondon scored both goals in Thursday’s 5th round tie as the minnows failed to provide an upset.

Up for the FA Cup
Chelsea are on the hunt for their NINTH FA Cup.
Liverpool are hoping for Cup number eight.
And City need one more for seven.
Who are FA Cup holders?
Leicester City are the current FA Cup champions after beating Chelsea in last year’s final.
Youri Tieleman’s 63rd minute rocket secured a famous 1-0 win for the Foxes at Wembley.
But Leicester crashed out this season in the fourth round to Nottingham Forest, losing 4-1 to the Championship outfit.
Do quarters have extra time?
All FA Cup quarter-final matches will have 30 minutes of extra time if it is a draw after 90 minutes.
There will then be penalties if neither side finds a breakthrough in ET.
FA Cup quarter-final replays were scrapped entirely from 2016.
Eyes on the cash prize
Victors in the quarter-final will receive a cash prize of £360,000.
That’s miles ahead of the paltry £100k Liverpool got for beating Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.
When will quarters be played?
All four games will be played later this month.
They will take place on the weekend of Friday 18 March to Monday 21 March.
After that, it will be a trip to Wembley for the four sides in the semis.
Taking nothing for granted
Everton had time to tweet their quarter-final draw news before they kicked off against Boreham Wood.
And they pointed out they will only visit Crystal Palace IF they beat the National League side.
Goodison fans seemed happy enough – although some noted that ‘big three’ Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea had again been kept apart.

‘Lucky’ Liverpool and Man City?
Fans of the Prem top two have been swapping jibes about ‘easy draws’ after tonight’s FA Cup quarter-final line-up was unveiled.
Yet both were drawn away.
Liverpool face in-form Nottingham Forest or the Midlanders’ high-flying Championship rivals Huddersfield.
And City visit Prem rivals Southampton.

Can Wood move from Park to Palace?
Boreham Wood have kicked off at Everton in their bid to become only the second non-League team in the modern era to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.
And if Wood triumph at Goodison Park then the National Leaguers will travel to another top-flight side in Crystal Palace in the last eight.
Will Blues be on cloud nine?
Chelsea being drawn away to Middlesbrough in the quarter-finals will probably has perhaps boosted their hopes of winning the FA Cup for the ninth time.

Our regular reminder…
Here’s the full draw again:
Crystal Palace vs Everton/Boreham Wood
Nottm Forest/Huddersfield vs Liverpool
Middlesbrough vs Chelsea
Southampton vs Man City
It’s not a fix…
Football chiefs can’t win with sceptical fans when it comes to draws.
Keeping the ‘big clubs’ apart means it’s a stitch-up to help the elite.
Pair them together then it’s a conspiracy against one of those teams – or a plot to help ANOTHER of the giants.
Or at least that’s the case if you believe social media.
Here are two of tonight’s first such messages following the quarter-final draw..

What price a treble?
Middlesbrough could land an all-time great ‘TREBLE UPSET’ upset if they beat Chelsea in the FA Cup last eight.
Having beaten Spurs and Man Utd in the past two rounds, the Championship club now host Champions League holders Chelsea.

FULL Q/F DRAW – RECAP

CHELSEA are through to the FA Cup quarter-final after a tight victory at Luton.Reece Burke stunned Thomas Tuchel’s men to head the Hatters in front after just two minutes.
But Saul Niguez struck an equaliser just after the hour mark.
However, Luton retook the lead when lifelong Blues fan Harry Cornick sprung the offside trap and beat Kepa with a cool finish.
But Chelsea equalised again in the second half with a rare goal from Timo Werner, who latched on to a brilliant long pass from Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
And Romelu Lukaku then latched on to a ball from Timo Werner to prod Thomas Tuchel’s men ahead.
Chelsea have been rocked in the build-up to this one by Roman Abramovich’s announcement that he is looking to sell the club.

Chris Wilder reacts
When speaking to BBC Sport, Wilder said: “A ridiculous game. The supporters gave us the energy to produce a top performance.
“It is all based around the team, there are good individual performances tonight but it is all about the collective and the team. They have to play their own part and what they bring to the team.
“We had to have a team performance tonight, it if went stretched we would get the result we fear – a Tottenham win.
“After the last two away games it was important to get a foodhold in the team, the shape was good and we had good possession and they did too.
“We grew into it and the danger players in Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are world class players and they are a top Premier League team with world players and a world class manager.
“We had to be right and structured. I did not want us to sit back and had to take the game to Spurs when we could. We missed a couple of great chances knowing the danger they possess.
“We are delighted be in the next round, I would love it to be a home tie. A great reward for everybody who has followed this football club. We want to make memories, we had one at Old Trafford and I believe we have had one one our own match which is brilliant.”

“Beating Manchester United gave us confidence, enjoy it and give it a right good go, see what happens. If they turned us over with quality you can hold your hands up but we applied ourselves right, you see what happens in this competition and we have another upset.
“Moments like this don’t come around but you have to enjoy it when they do.
“From a personal point of view, my little lad Harry has got into football. I was playing against Cristiano Ronaldo and now Harry Kane so I can tell him we have beaten them. Hopefully we don’t lose focus and performances like tonight we can take into the league.
“Age is just a number, if you look after yourself right like Sol Bamba and Lee Peltier, we have to set the standard for Josh Coburn and Isaiah Jones, hopefully we can do that for the younger generation.”

“First of all, it is important to say that Middlesbrough played a good game, deserves respect and congratulate them for the win.
“We have to reflect on our performance and on the game we played. These type of games, in these trophies away from home, you have to try to kill the game quickly. Your opponent has to understand that the night will be difficult, instead we can do much better and in the end Middlesbrough deserved to go to the next round.
“This is part of our process. I repeat, we have to try to avoid the up and down up and down and there is only one way to improve the situation is to work and learn about the defeat.
“We have to go ahead and we will try to do our best this season.
“We have to give our best for the rest of the season, then we will see what is our position and the evaluation of our season. It is early to say something about this.”
