Smart Alex has answer

- by TIM EVERSHED

ALEX IWOBI made sure his last touch was the deadliest in a thrilling tie, with an 81st-minute goal.

League One side Lincoln took the lead after just 20 seconds as Harry Anderson side-footed home.

Lucas Digne lashed in a 30-yard free-kick to equalise in the 36th minute.

And the Toffees took the lead when Morgan Schneiderl­in was tripped in the box on 59 minutes and Gylfi Sigurdsson rammed home the spot-kick.

Bruno Andrade then volleyed a breathtaki­ng equaliser in the 70th minute.

But with Everton boss Marco Silva about to bring off Iwobi, he headed in Sigurdsson’s cross.

And two minutes from time Richarliso­n headed in to seal the win.
