Roberto Martinez is preparing to lead Everton FC into the 224th Merseyside derby this week and Blues everywhere will be looking for any omen they can get that points towards a first win over Liverpool FC since 2010.

So the fact that today marks six years since a famous victory over Liverpool under the Goodison Park lights.

It was the day that Dan Gosling left it late, really late, to dump Liverpool out of the FA Cup - and put Everton one step closer to the final.

He left it so late, in fact, that ITV forgot that the game was still playing and cut to a Tic-Tac advert as the winning goal went in.

Many fans around the country were left in suspense when the match cut to an ad-break - only to return as Gosling wheeled away in celebration.

Apart from the TV gaffe, of course, it was an ending so sweet for Evertonians - and one that the ECHO's Dominic King labelled: "plucked from the realms of fantasy".

David Moyes' men had secured a draw in the first leg at Anfield, with the familiar sight of Tim Cahill ghosting into Liverpool's six-yard box to set-up a replay at Goodison.

Everton edged the replay and had hit the post through Leon Osman in the first half, but despite seeing Steven Gerrard leave the field through injury and Lucas Leiva sent off late in the second half the match looked as though it was heading to penalties.

But then, with just two minutes left on the clock, 19-year-old Gosling, on as a replacement for £15m man Marouane Fellaini, weaved his way past two Liverpool defenders in the box and curled a right-footed shot past Pepe Reina - sending Everton through to face Aston Villa in the fifth round.

Afterwards, Gosling said he 'knew' he was going to score the winner - as long as he got on the pitch.

“It’s all bit blurry at the minute but the feeling I have is absolutely unbelievable,” said Gosling.

“But it’s not just for me. It’s for everyone connected with the club. Over the two ties, I think we deserved it. The lads have been great and it was a great occasion to be a part of.

“All week I had been saying to people that if I got on, I was going to score. Honestly! I always know that if I’m on the pitch, I’ll get a chance.

“I just try to get into those positions and with the quality of players here, you know there is always a possibility that something will pop up. Thankfully that happened last night.”

Everton fans will be hoping the Toffees can send Liverpool back across Stanley Park with their tails between their legs again this weekend - and give Evertonians another "little lift".

Gosling is now plying his trade for Bournemouth in the Championship after leaving Everton in controversial circumstances to move to Newcastle. He scored against Liverpool again earlier this season - but couldn't prevent a 3-1 defeat in the league cup.
