Crewe 1 Everton 2FA CUP/Fifth Round Replay: Tomasz Radzinski and Kevin Campbell combined to send Everton into an FA Cup quarter-final tie at Middlesbrough, but they were given an enormous scare by the plucky first division strugglers.

Crewe had taken a deserved first-half lead through Dean Ashton before woeful Everton eventually woke from their slumber. The Canadian Radzinski headed an equaliser on the stroke of half-time and Campbell claimed the winner midway through the second half.

Everton decided to omit Paul Gascoigne from their side and were relying on David Ginola to provide their attacking invention. For Walter Smith's side that was a forlorn hope as the Frenchman spent the majority of the opening period a mere onlooker as Crewe set a blistering pace.

Crewe started with supreme confidence happy to spray the ball around and constantly stretching a languid Everton outfit.

Everton were being out-manoeuvred all over the pitch and it was no surprise when Crewe took the lead in the 24th minute. Ashton raced clear of the static Everton defence and placed the ball beyond the advancing Simonsen.

Everton replaced the lumbering Ginola at half-time with the Danish international Thomas Gravesen and the game adopted a real cup-tie feel.

Everton eventually got their noses in front in the 70th minute when their captain Campbell displayed tremendous strength to hold off Sodje, before swivelling and rifling home from 10 yards.
