Cahill's extra-time strike sees Toffees battle past plucky

SUBSTITUTE Tim Cahill fired Everton into the Carling Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 19 years at the expense of Luton. Manager David Moyes left the Australia international on the bench as one of six changes to his starting line-up but was forced to call on the midfielder as League One Luton — the lowest-placed side in the competition — held out for extra time.

And Cahill struck in the 101st minute as Everton made the last eight of a cup competition for the first time under Moyes.

Luton will feel hard done by after dominating the first half and frustrating their visitors throughout the second.
