A stunning goal from Andre Gomes earned Everton their place in the FA Cup fourth round, as they beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in a replay at Goodison Park.
The Portuguese international converted a long-range free-kick just before half-time, curling home via the inside of the post, to set up a home meeting with Luton Town.
The initial clash between the two sides at Selhurst Park nearly two weeks ago, when Dominic Calvert-Lewin was controversially sent off, a decision that has since been overturned, ended 0-0.
That was one of three successive games without scoring for The Toffees, as they were also held to a goalless stalemate by Aston Villa in the Premier League at the weekend.
However, Sean Dyche's side ended their long drought, and a run of six matches without a victory, as they kept a third clean sheet in a row.
Palace, on the other hand, have now won just one of their last 11 fixtures, while they failed to reach the fourth round for the fourth time in five seasons.
Elsewhere, Championship side Norwich came from behind to beat third tier side Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Ground.
Luke McCormick had given the hosts the lead, only for Gabriel Sara, Adam Idah and Kenny McLean to net for the Canaries after the break,
Their reward is an away tie with Liverpool, as they attempt to pick up their first victory at Anfield in nearly 20 years.
