David Moyes happy to see Everton progress into FA Cup’s fourth round

EVERTON manager David Moyes breathed a sigh of relief after his side's nervy FA Cup third-round victory over plucky Carlisle.The League One side were heading for a deserved replay until Tim Cahill and Leighton Baines - with an injury-time penalty - snatched a 3-1 victory for last season's beaten finalists.James Vaughan had give Everton an early lead but after Kevan Hurst's scuffed equaliser the Cumbrians more than matched their Premier League opponents.Moyes said: 'The scoreline was a little flattering, but we are through. We are also still in Europe and our league form is picking up, so things are starting to go our way.'I was not surprised by Carlisle, but I was disappointed that when we went one up early on, we were not able to build on that and control the game better. We were disappointed with a lot of things but I cannot be disappointed with the result. We had nine players injured and two away at the African Nations Cup, plus one suspended.'It was a battle, but we expected that. The same thing happened last season in the third round when we struggled to a 1-0 win at Macclesfield, but still ended up reaching the final.'That is what the FA Cup is all about. Maybe the save from Tim Howard pushing that shot onto the bar got us through.'We got great help from a couple of youngsters who came on. Seamus Coleman had a hand in the second goal and Kieran Agard won the late penalty.
