Gosling the hero in Toffees win

Substitute Dan Gosling's 118th winner sent Everton into the fifth round of the FA Cup after a 1-0 win over 10-man Liverpool in their replay at Goodison Park.

The 18-year-old fired home off a post from Andy van der Meyde's right-wing cross to snatch victory from a fiery derby encounter which looked destined for penalties.

Liverpool had Lucas sent off with 14 minutes remaining in normal time for a second bookable offence but the visitors could just not hold on for spot-kicks.

Everton now face Aston Villa in the fifth round on February 15.

Liverpool ended in disarray. Robbie Keane sold, Steven Gerrard limping away after just 16 minutes, while Fernando Torres was withdrawn, exhausted, in extra-time.

They had been facing defeat from the moment Lucas was sent-off with 14 minutes of normal time left.

Liverpool tried to impose their passing game on Everton, who responded in their usual way.

Steven Pienaar was booked a foul on Lucas, while the only genuine shots in the first half came from Xabi Alonso with a 25-yarder that skidded wide, while Leon Osman volleyed over from the edge of the box.

Liverpool's own sloppiness eventually allowed Everton the best chance so far. Possession was squandered and Mikel Arteta passed for Leon Osman to hit a post.

But in the 118th minute, Everton went ahead. Van Der Meyde's cross from the right was controlled by Gosling on the left, and his deflected shot went in off the far post.
