Everton set up an FA Cup quarter-final clash with Crystal Palace as a Salomon Rondon brace helped them to a laboured 2-0 win over National League outfit Boreham Wood.
The Blues had 80 per cent of the possession in the opening 45 minutes but could not find the breakthrough, leading to Frank Lampard bringing Richarlison on in the second half.
Their main attacking threat though was full-back Jonjoe Kenny, delivering two pinpoint crosses for Rondon who, after heading the first over the bar, squeezed in the second at the near post to open the scoring on 57 minutes.

Richarlison had a goal ruled out for hand-ball and then forced Taye Ashby-Hammond into a superb save down to his left with a fierce 30-yard effort.
And then with just minutes left, Rondon sealed the tie, heading home Andros Townsend’s cross as goal-line technology judged the ball had narrowly crossed the line.
