CHELTENHAM — Everton swept into the FA Cup fourth round with a 5-1 rout of League Two minnows Cheltenham Monday. Although Everton is flying high in the Premier League and harbor genuine ambitions of qualifying for the Champions League, Toffees boss David Moyes refused to rest his key players and sent out a strong side at Whaddon Road to guard against a potential third round giant-killing. And his senior stars proved too hot for fourth-tier Cheltenham to handle as Nikica Jelavic's early goal and a Leighton Baines penalty put the result beyond doubt within 21 minutes. Leon Osman added Everton's third goal soon after half-time and although Russell Penn got one back for Cheltenham there was never any chance of a comeback. Seamus Coleman and Marouane Fellaini rounded off the scoring to ensure Everton, beaten by Liverpool in the semifinals last season, earned a last 32 clash with Bolton or Sunderland later this month. Vallecano beats Getafe Two goals by Francisco ‘Piti' Medina helped Rayo Vallecano to a 3-1 home win over Getafe in a Madrid derby Monday in the Spanish league. Rayo's Guinean forward Alhassane Bangoura dribbled between two defenders to open the scoring in the 14th minute. Getafe goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya was peppered with three shots on target which he athletically punched away in the 24th minute — only for Rayo captain Piti to latch onto a long cross from Javier Fuego and score four minutes later. Piti then netted his eighth goal of the season in the 52nd. Substitute Francisco Alcacer pulled one back for Getafe in the 65th minute. Rayo, with 28 points, rises to seventh place in the standings which are led by Barcelona on 52. — Agencies
