Everton needed extra time an Abdoulaye Doucoure winner to see

off Lincoln 2-1 and avoid an FA Cup third-round upset at Goodison Park.

Carlo Ancelotti left out top scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, but their replacements were second-best for much of the 120 minutes at
Goodison Park.

Rotherham, with just one win in their previous nine games, made six changes of their own but looked far more cohesive and they deserved more than just Matt Olosunde’s maiden senior goal for their efforts.

Cenk Tosun’s first strike for Everton since November 2019 was cancelled out just after half-time by the former Manchester United academy graduate, who won a solitary cap for the United States in 2018.

Substitute Doucoure scored the eventual winner three minutes into the additional period but it was far from comfortable for the Merseyside club, who progressed to the fourth round for only the second time in five seasons.
