Everton skipper Neville relieved to be "still in the hat"

Everton captain Phil Neville admits relief at being "still in the hat" after their FA Cup draw with Oldham Athletic.

Despite his confidence ahead of the replay, the skipper couldn't help but pick over what could have been improved on Saturday night.

He told evertontv: "Oldham played really well, they gave as good as they got. Maybe we should have had it wrapped up a little bit sooner.

"We have an experienced side that should be able to handle their late pressure. The disappointment is that we didn't give the massive support we had the victory they wanted.

"But this is what the FA Cup does - Arsenal lost at home to Blackburn - and we are still in the hat."
