Millwall 3 Everton 2: Controversial equaliser spurs Lions on to last-gasp upset

Murray Wallace's last-gasp winner sealed a dramatic 3-2 victory for Millwall over Premier League side Everton, securing a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup for Neil Harris' men.

Everton looked to be on course to leave The Den with a win after Cenk Tosun put them ahead for the second time in the contest, but Jake Cooper's controversial equaliser – the defender diverted the ball into the net with his arm – gave Millwall hope and Wallace clinched the unlikely win deep into stoppage time.

But Millwall equalised again three minutes later as Wallace's shot came back off Pickford and Cooper converted, infuriating Silva, who could see the incident on the stadium's big screen.

Wallace then got the winner deep into stoppage time, tapping in from close range after another Millwall set-piece caused havoc in a ramshackle Everton defence.
