LLWLLL 📉

Since a loss in their previous game against Everton in FA Cup competition, Rotherham United and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Everton had 16 shots on goal with 4 on target. Cenk Tosun (9') and Abdoulaye Doucouré (93') scored for Everton. The game was won by Everton in extra time.
