Everton shatter dream of Oldham Athletic minnows

Everton ended third-tier Oldham Athletic's giant-killing FA Cup run with a 3-1 victory in their fifth-round replay in a result that will see an all-Premier-League quarter-final match against Wigan Athletic.

Belgian Kevin Mirallas and Leighton Baines put the home side 2-0 up in the first half before Leon Osman added a third after the hour mark to show the gulf in class against Liverpool's surprise fourth-round conquerors.

Matt Smith, who equalised in stoppage time for Oldham in the 2-2 draw at home to Everton on February 16, struck with a header from a corner moments later to give the visitors some slight hope, but the hosts were never really troubled again in the final half hour.

Five-times Cup winners Everton, seeking a first trophy since 1995 and their first under long-serving manager David Moyes having lost the final to Chelsea in 2009, will next host Wigan on March 9.

"We've gone close a couple of times, so it's whetted the appetite and we want to go that bit further and win something," Baines said.

"Because we are at home against Wigan, we will be favourites, but we've had tough games with them over the past few years and they are off the back of a good result, so they will be confident."
