Neville: my wife made penalty prediction

PHIL NEVILLE offered a quiet word of thanks to wife Julie as he celebrated leading Everton to their first FA Cup final in 14 years.

Not since he was a kid growing up in Bury had Neville felt the pressure of taking a penalty. And on that occasion he missed.

On Sunday, with the hopes of a club resting on his shoulders, Neville kept his nerve, slotting home the second of four successful spot-kicks that booked a return trip to Wembley for the Toffeemen, who will face Chelsea on May 30.
