Blackpool cruise past Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 to set up a FA Cup fifth-round tie at Everton.

Blackpool set up an FA Cup fifth-round tie with Everton after a convincing 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in their fourth-round replay at Hillsborough tonight.

After being held to a draw by the League One outfit ten days ago, Ian Holloway's side showed their superiority by taking a seventh-minute lead.

In-form winger Matt Phillips struck the first time from Lomana Lua Lua's ball to beat Stephen Bywater at the far post.

Lua Lua then got himself on the scoresheet with a curling effort from 25 yards to double the Seasiders' advantage.

Blackpool were in control from then on, and when Ludovic Sylvestre added a third ten minutes into the second half the visitors had all but secured their place in the next round.

The former Barcelona player linked up with Phillips before cutting inside and firing a shot past Bywater.

Blackpool travel to Goodison Park for their last-16 tie against the Toffees on February 18.
