Toffees come unstuck in Portugal

David Moyes saw his depleted Everton side spectacularly dismantled in the space of five second-half minutes at the Estadio da Luz as they were beaten 5-0 by Benfica.Any hopes of a recovery in this Europa League match - after Javier Saviola had opened the scoring - vanished as Oscar Cardozo scored twice and Luisao added to the gains to put Benfica on the road to an emphatic victory.Saviola added a fifth goal - and despite the absence of 11 players, Everton boss Moyes must have been left bewildered at the way the Toffees caved in.In the process, Everton suffered their first defeat in Group I and their first in eight games in all competitions.The home side made the breakthrough in the 14th minute with a superb half-volley from Saviola after a crossfield pass from Angel Di Maria split the defence, before Cardozo scored twice after the break, with a close-range finish and a header.Then Luisao increased their misery in the 52nd minute - extending Benfica's lead to 4-0 after Seamus Coleman made a desperate but vain attempt to keep the ball out, before Saviola completed the rout after a cross from Di Maria.
