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.
