# Everton fans lament lack of crowd in FA Cup win over Spurs

From triumphant highs to anxiety-inducing moments of madness, [Everton](https://readeverton.com/2021/02/10/carlo-ancelotti-praise-intelligent-tom-davies-tactical-awareness/)’s FA Cup clash with Tottenham proved one to remember after the Toffees edged past Jose Mourinho’s side to win [5-4 after extra time.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55953180)

Leads were undone as swiftly as they were rebuilt by Everton in a game which did not lack for entertainment value. A brace from Richarlison, a hat-trick of assists from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin taking his season’s goal tally to 18 were just some of the [memorable individual aspects](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55953180) of the victory.

Despite shipping four goals, Robin Olsen also stood up to the mantle of keeping out Spurs as he was [forced](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55953180) into some inspired shot-stopping which arguably prevented a defensive routing for Carlo Ancelotti’s team.

A [reflective tweet from the club’s official account](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1359649182278164487) was one unlikely but provocative source of discussion from lots of Everton fans, with the tweet lamenting the lack of supporters at Goodison Park in what would have been a night to remember for years to come for many Evertonians.

Many Everton fans [took to Twitter](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1359649182278164487) having been struck by the club’s emotion-inspiring tweet as they looked ahead to the day when they will walk through the turnstiles of Goodison Park once more…
