The visitors, 48 places below Everton, then saw Danny Livesey's shot hit the crossbar midway through the second-half. However, it was midfielder Cahill who scored next, although not until the 82nd minute, with a close range shot before Leighton Baines's last-minute penalty sealed Everton's victory.
