Everton opponents in FA Cup fifth round draw confirmed

Everton will host Boreham Wood in the fifth round of the FA Cup after they beat Brentford 4-1 on Saturday afternoon.

It was the dream start for Frank Lampard in his first game in charge as the Blues swept aside their Premier League opponents.

Yerry Mina opened the scoring in the first half at Goodison Park before Richarlison doubled the lead shortly after the break.

Ivan Toney's penalty kick for the visitors was quickly cancelled out as Mason Holgate and Andros Townsend ensured it was Everton who would progress.

The fifth-round matches take place the week commencing Monday, February 28, 2022 and £180,000 will be collected should the Blues progress even further.

Everton reached the quarter-finals of the competition last season but were knocked out by Manchester City.

Late goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan inflicted heartbreak on the Toffees as it was the furthest they'd gone in the competition since the 2015/16 season.

Now, the latter stages of the competition are in sight once again and they'll take on National League Boreham Wood, who knocked out Championship side Bournemouth on Sunday night.

Non-league Boreham Wood are fifth in the National League, pushing for promotion to the Football League.
