An extra-ordinary night at the Goodison Park on Wednesday night, January 10, when Everton and Tottenham engaged themselves in a highly-entertaining FA Cup quarter-final clash.
It was a goal-fest which had all the sensations of a classic encounter, but Everton won in the extra-time courtesy a late goal.
It got Jose Mourinho furious as no one takes the FA Cup as serious as the Spurs’ boss, as he is never a fan of a nine-goal thriller.
Having guided his side to the Carabao Cup Final, Mourinho will now need to just focus on winning the title.
After the encounter against Everton, he said via Mirror:
"We scored four goals, but four goals was not enough."
With the result, it means Carlo Ancelotti is now in contention for a silverware as they showed class and resilience against Everton.
Thanks to substitute Bernard who stole the winner in the extra-time as they seem to have more resilience than Gareth Bale, who missed the trip north because he had “some feelings he is not happy with”, according to his coach.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have set a new record in English football following their 3-1 win over Swansea in the FA Cup quarter-finals as they reach the semis.
Goals by Kyle Walker, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus were enough to hand the Citizens their 15th straight win in all competitions.
Although debutant Morgan Whittaker pulled one back for Swansea, it doesn’t stop Pep Guardiola’s side from setting a new record for most consecutive wins by an English club.
Manchester City have now surpassed Preston which had 14 consecutive wins during the 1891-1892 season as well as the Arsenal team of 1987-1988 season which also managed 14 straight wins.
