James Rodriguez and Yerry Mina were pure joy this Sunday. The Colombian footballers were instrumental in Everton qualifying for the fifth round of the FA Cup after a 3-0 home win at Sheffield Wednesday.
Rodriguez handled the threads of the team and gave two goal passes. While Yerry, true to his custom, scored a good header, thus reaching his third goal of the season.
The game went very early in favor of Everton, who started winning in the 29th minute with a goal from Calvert-Lewin, their goal scorer.
And then came the magic of James, who with two exquisite centers in the 59th and 62nd minutes originated goals from Brazilian Richarlison and Yerry, respectively.
The winger and central defender are having a very good campaign with Everton, sixth in the Premier League.
In that same tournament, winger Steven Alzate scored and assisted on Brighton’s 2-1 win over Blackpool.
