Lincoln City chairman Clive Nates says he is a huge fan of Everton left-back Lucas Digne

Everton saw off League One outfit Lincoln City 4-2 on Wednesday to advance to the third round of the League Cup.

It was a hard-fought victory for the visitors as it took late goals from Alex Iwobi and Richarlison to prevent the game from going into penalties after Lucas Digne drew Everton level following an early Lincoln lead.

Gylfi Sigurdsson helped the Toffees go in front after play resumed, but the hosts hit back, and were resilient all night.

Everton will now face Sheffield Wednesday in the next round as they look to go far in the competition, and they have the support of Lincoln’s chairman Clive Nates – a lifelong fan of the Toffees.
