Practice makes perfect for Toffees
David Moyes admitted Everton had practised penalties as they reached the FA Cup final with victory in the shootout against Manchester United.
Phil Jagielka scored the winning spot-kick and Tim Howard saved from Dimitar Berbatov and Rio Ferdinand as the Toffees beat United 4-2 on penalties after the game had ended 0-0 after 120 minutes.
It means Everton will face Chelsea at Wembley in the final next month and Moyes said: "We did (practice), we had a go but how can you practice really?
"The goalkeeper made a couple of really good saves.
"We had a struggle to find five to take them. Jagielka was one of the ones who scored in training. We didn't have too many takers on the day."
The Red Devils had a good shout for a penalty when Danny Welbeck went down under close attention from Jagielka and Moyes admitted he had feared the worst."From where I was I thought it was," Moyes continued.
"I've not seen it but I thought that may be close."
Manchester United were missing the likes of Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Carrick and Edwin van der Sar but Moyes insisted the young side gave his team a difficult challenge.
"It was a tough game for us," he added.
"If they put out their under-14s it would have a been a tough game - they are going after every trophy."For everyone at Everton is fantastic.
"If they keep doing what they are doing now it (success) will not be too far away."
