Everton defender Johnny Heitinga says their Capital One Cup exit is a big blow.
The Dutch international said the pain of defeat was compounded by a chance for long over-due silverware being ended, but insisted nobody at Goodison can afford to dwell on the game.
"Unfortunately we're out of the cup now and we need to focus on the next game on Saturday," he said. "Of course because it's the shortest way to get a prize and we're out of the competition so it hurts. We need to focus on the league and we can't dwell on this for too many days."
