90'+4
These sides will meet again on November 2, but this defeat means Everton are already on the verge of exiting the competition.

90'+1
Keane hasn't been at all convincing in Everton's defence this evening, but he does well to win the ball from a Lyon cross, conceding a corner.

Everton have scored 60 per cent of their goals this season in minutes 75 to 90, and they are certainly piling on the pressure now.
