Alex Iwobi (Coleman 73’) – N/A Slotted into a rather unfamiliar role in wingback, with Gordon occupying the other wing.
AFP
CRYSTAL PALACE RATINGS: Jack Butland – 7 Despite a lively start for Everton, had little to do thanks to his players and was equal to an improvised shot by Richarlison before half-time and everything that followed.
Getty
Nathaniel Clyne – 7 Perhaps a shaky beginning which helped sparked a chaotic start by Everton but grew into the game and looked seamless by the end.
Reuters
Joachim Andersen – 7 Perhaps quieter than his centre-back partner, Andersen looked comfortable and untroubled as Palace eased into the game.
Reuters
Marc Guehi – 8 The former Chelsea man had his work cut out to justify his first call-up to the England squad in a feisty encounter with Richarlison. He then capitalised on a dream week by finding the goal early on when he was left unmarked in the box.
AP
Tyrick Mitchell – 7 A busy and tireless display by the promising left-back and ended a lovely worked move by Everton, before Townsend’s injury.
Reuters
Conor Gallagher – 7 The 22-year-old could have sealed the game when he forced Pickford to push his shot wide, before it landed at Hughes’ feet.
Getty
Cheikhou Kouyate – 7 Beaten a couple of times in the middle of the park by the neat feet of Gordon, the Senegalese international was crucial in the air and allowing Eze and Gallagher to play with ease.
Reuters
Michael Olise – 8 The set-piece provider kept Pickford on his toes when his corner looked to be curling goalwards on its own before he again sent in a dangerous cross seconds later which found an unmarked Guehi. Had a few chances to get his own, though his ambitious hit from distance hit the woodwork and fell into Zaha’s path for the third.
PA
Eberechi Eze – 7 Provided some light relief for a very chaotic first 20 minutes before he was fed through by Zaha and turned to shoot directly at Pickford in goal. Linked up well with Zaha in the build up to Palace’s second.
Getty
Wilfried Zaha – 9 Palace’s top goalscorer could have double his side’s lead at the half-hour point when he ran across Godfrey in the face of goal and saw his neat shot find the side netting. Still, he was left unfazed as he continued to create for his teammates and was handed a goal of his own when Olise’s shot bounced on the woodwork and into his path for an easy finish.
AP
Jean-Philippe Mateta – 7 The Frenchman has found form in recent weeks and added his fifth of the season in a brilliantly worked goal on the left, with the 24-year-old’s strike squeezing through Holgate’s legs and past Pickford. Could have added another moments later when he was through on goal before an excellent challenge by Coleman to deny him.
Getty
SUBS: Luka Milivojevic (Eze 71’) – N/A Part of a double change for Palace and played his part in Palace’s comfortable win.
Getty
Odsonne Edouard (Mateta 71’) – N/A Busy on his introduction, Edouard played a part in the third and fourth goal and picked up where Mateta and Eze left off.
Reuters
Will Hughes (Kouyate 83’) – N/R Joined the party in the closing stages by marking his first goal for Palace when Gallagher’s effort fell into the substitute’s path.
Getty
Christian Benteke (Olise 83’) – N/R Didn’t see the ball a lot in the time he was on the pitch.
Getty
EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford – 5 The England goalkeeper had to be quick on his toes when Olise’s curling corner looked to be heading goalward on its own but was unable to keep out Guehi’s header moments later.
Getty
Seamus Coleman – 6 The Toffees captain put in an excellent challenge in the box to deny Mateta a second goal within a matter of minutes when the Frenchman failed to take his strike on the first attempt.
AFP
Mason Holgate – 4 Starting in a back three, he struggled to deal with Palace’s attacking threat and didn’t look comfortable against Mateta.
AP
Michael Keane – 4 Miscued his kick when Townsend laid his free-kick on a plate for the defender in Everton’s early chance, though nearly turned provider when it landed for Godfrey.
Getty
Ben Godfrey – 4 A millisecond earlier, Godfrey would have had an easy tap in at the back-post as Townsend dangerous free-kick was deflected into the centre-back’s path but found it hard dealing with Palace’s attacking threat.
AFP
Jonjoe Kenny – 4 Sacrificed in a half-time tactical change, the Scotsman was largely unable to make anything happen, barring a couple of tackles.
PA
Anthony Gordon – 6 The youngster did well to turn on the ball and bypass Kouyate and Gallagher with ease before finding an offside Richarlison early on. Everton’s brightest hope as he continuously worked hard. Booked.
AFP
Abdoulaye Doucoure – 5 Struggled to influence the game in a manner that would have countered Palace’s force and domination going forward.
Getty
Andros Townsend – N/R Sent in a delightful ball for Keane in the opening seconds of the game for Everton’s early chance but saw his afternoon come to a very early end when he seemingly rolled his ankle and was unable to continue, changing the shape of the game.
Reuters
Andre Gomes – 4 Escaped an early booking for a dangerously high foot connecting with Gallagher’s nose and saw his deflected shot from outside of the box go well wide of goal in 29 minutes. Booked.
Reuters
Richarlison – 5 Centre of attention in the opening minutes, the Brazilian was left protesting twice after he was brought down in the box by Guehi, with the offside flag raised for the second foul. Didn’t improve much afterwards.
Getty
SUBS: Demarai Gray (Townsend 17’) – 6 The former Leicester man was unlucky to see his side’s energy deflate following Townsend’s early departure, Gray started the second half well and saw his shot on the turn go narrowly wide of the post.
PA
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Kenny 46’) – 5 Benched as a precaution, the forward was brought on at half-time in hopes of saving their cup tie but couldn’t make much happen.
