Still the drama continued in the second half, Sanchez grabbed his second of the night at minute 57 after Toby Alderweireld's header was palmed into his path, Richarlison put Everton back in front in the 68th minute and a Harry Kane header took the game into extra-time.
One of Everton's substitutes ultimately won the match for them, Bernard with a fine finish after he was picked out by the impressive Sigurdsson in the 97th minute.
Shortly after the amazing night, Iwobi took to Twitter to celebrate Everton reaching the quarterfinals, posting : "
Next Round 🤞🏽".
Next Round 🤞🏽".
Iwobi was part of the Arsenal team that won the FA Cup in 2017 but was a non-playing substitute in the showpiece vs Chelsea.
