Everton suffered yet another crushing blow as they were dumped out of the FA Cup in humiliating style with a 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Marc Guehi headed the Eagles into the lead, Jean-Philippe Mateta capped off a slick team move, Wilfried Zaha bagged a fortuitous third and Will Hughes completed the rout by sweeping home a rebound.
Boss Frank Lampard, however, has received huge backlash from football fanatics after he claimed three of Patrick Vieira's side goals were 'average' or 'fluke'.
The focus for the Toffees remain avoiding relegation from the Premier League, but a trip to Wembley Stadium for a semi-final, would have surely been a welcome boost.
