Luton shock Everton with 96th-minute winner
Woodrow's late strike sends Hatters into FA Cup fifth round
Luton Town pulled off a major FA Cup upset on Saturday as they beat Premier League side Everton 1-0 in the fourth round thanks to a 96th-minute winner from substitute Cauley Woodrow.
Drama at Goodison Park
The match looked set to go to a replay after Demarai Gray had cancelled out Alfie Doughty's first-half opener for Luton, but Woodrow popped up with a dramatic late winner to send the Hatters into the fifth round.
Luton, who are currently 11 points adrift of safety in the Championship, will now face either Sheffield United or Wrexham in the next round.
Everton's cup hopes dashed
Everton, who won the FA Cup in 2021, will be disappointed to have exited the competition at this stage, especially after they had fought back from a goal down to level the scores.
The Toffees have now lost three of their last four matches in all competitions and will need to improve their form if they are to avoid a relegation battle in the Premier League.
Conclusion
Luton's victory over Everton was a reminder that anything can happen in the FA Cup. The Hatters, who are battling against relegation in the Championship, showed great spirit and determination to come from behind and win the match in the dying seconds.
Everton, on the other hand, will be disappointed to have exited the competition so early. The Toffees have a big few weeks ahead of them as they look to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
