Everton secured its place in the League Cup semifinal draw courtesy of a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough.
Gerard Deulofeu stole the show as Everton cruised into the League Cup semifinals courtesy of a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.
The Spaniard netted a delightful opener before assisting Romelu Lukaku's header on Tuesday as Roberto Martinez's men booked their spot in the last four.
Martinez showed his respect for a team sitting second in the Championship by making just three changes to the XI that drew 3-3 at AFC Bournemouth on Saturday. His decision paid dividends during the early stages, with stunning goals from Deulofeu and Lukaku putting the visitors 2-0 ahead inside 28 minutes.
