Everton boss David Moyes was full of praise for Tamworth after their FA Cup win yesterday.

Tamworth's hopes of becoming the first non-league team to knock out a top-flight side since Sutton beat Coventry in 1989 were hit inside the first five minutes when Johnny Heitinga put the hosts in front.

But Tamworth gave as good as they got after that, particularly in the latter stages of the first half, and it was not until Leighton Baines made it 2-0 from the penalty spot 11 minutes from time that victory was sewn up.

Moyes said: "Tamworth did really well, kept at it and, while it was only 1-0 there was always a chance. We missed a few chances to make it 2-0 early on, which might have put it to bed, but for the neutrals it kept the game alive.

"They threatened a bit from corners and free-kicks but, without playing well, I thought we had a level of control that was enough to probably see the game out."
