ASSISTANT manager Steve Round believes the FA Cup drubbing of Scunthorpe was a scoreline Everton have been promising for some time.
The Goodison Park side breezed into a fourth round home tie with Chelsea after a comfortable afternoon at Glanford Park on Saturday.
Round was delighted with the way his side responded to the Iron firing back just after half-time by adding three goals after the break.
“Yes we were very pleased,” said David Moyes' number two.
“We've been threatening that sort of score for a while, but we were just pleased to get the goals that we’ve maybe missed in other games, and go into the next round.
“It was important to get the early goal and it kills the game a bit, and makes the ground a bit flat.
“But credit to them they came back at us in the second half and had a good half-time.
“It does cross your mind when they came at us, that we’d be made to pay for missing a few in the first half. We’ve had that happen to us in the past, but credit to the players they were mentally strong, got the third goal, and then totally dominated.
“It was important that both strikers scored. Louis had two in two and is the sort of striker that when he goes on a run it’s very hard to stop him.
