Bristol City 2 Everton 2

Carling Cup..On the paper, it seem like it was to be a cruising win for Everton which was true for the first half as Big Dunc scored from the spot on the 30th minute.



Leon Osman limped off just before the break to be replaced by Nick Chadwick and on his first touch, Good ol' Chadwick scored the second goal for Everton..



After the break Bristol hit back at us immideately and managed to pull one back on the 49th minute through a fast move down the Everton left, followed by a fierce incoming ball resulted in an own goal by Tim Cahill or Alan Stubbs under pressure..

The lead was then surrendered on the 53rd minute when a cross from the right, met by Leroy Lita in the box to slam it home for an equalizer. 2-2.. There was not be any further defensive slip ups as both teams battled through and in the 80th minute, Everton was awarded a penalty as McFadden was being fouled in the box. McFadden came up and took the penalty and the keeper guessed well and saved the penalty!!

Extra Time was to be called to try and break these two teams but none of the side brokethrough to score in extra time.. The game was to be decided through penalty kicks..


Everton's first kicker, and Watson's shot was well saved..


Coles' shot hit the bar and Everton could very well wrapped up the game if Carsley scores..


And he does!! Carsley scoring it to make it a 4-3 win on penalties.



Everton through to the next round.
