Everton secured a 2-0 victory over League One side Peterborough United in the FA Cup third round. Caretaker managers Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman led the Toffees to victory with goals from Beto and Iliman Ndiaye. The win comes after the dramatic dismissal of Sean Dyche as Everton manager just hours before the match.
Premier League strugglers Everton began their post- Sean Dyche era with victory over League One Peterborough in the FA Cup third round.With Everton Under-18s boss Leighton Baines and captain Seamus Coleman installed as caretaker managers, the pair led the side to victory on a bitterly cold evening at Goodison Park.
Darren Ferguson's side did have a couple of chances of their own - winger Cian Hayes seeing an effort blocked in front of goal by Jarrad Branthwaite and Ricky-Jade Jones having a strike towards the near post pushed away by Joao Virginia. Dyche had been at the training ground earlier in the day and it was his starting eleven deployed in the game, with former team-mates Baines and Coleman asked to take charge of the team in the afternoon.
Beto, who was given limited game-time by Dyche, showed what the goal-shy Blues have been missing with a well-taken effort to take his tally to three for the season. The contest also missed out on featuring a father-and-son duo in action against each other - experienced Everton full-back Ashley Young came on as a substitute in the second half, but his teenage son Tyler remained on the Peterborough bench.After the opportunity to rate players has closed, the score displayed represents the average from all the submissions by BBC Sport users.
