Linderoth goal finally gives Everton a cup tonic

Everton 1 Charlton 0

Defeats by the likes of Bristol Rovers and Crystal Palace come to mind, but Tobias Linderoth’s first goal for the club saw them into the last 16 of the Carling Cup this time around at the expense of Charlton. The goal came in the first half after Wayne Rooney’s drive had hit the bar, allowing the Swede to nod into an empty net.

Although Charlton saw Jason Euell miss a sitter in each half, Everton deserved this victory and could have had more had not another Rooney effort come back off a post.
