Everton feline fine in FA Cup victory

A four-legged pitch invader stole the show in Everton's 2-0 FA Cup win over Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday when a cat scrambled onto the pitch.

Kevin Mirallas had just scored Everton's second goal in the third-round tie with an 85th-minute penalty when a black and white cat crept onto the pitch in the Everton penalty area.

After giving Everton goalkeeper Joel Robles the runaround, it was picked up by a member of the Goodison Park security staff and taken away, allowing the game to resume.

Asked if it might prove a good omen, Everton manager Roberto Martinez replied: "Hopefully. I thought he had great style and movement."
