Oldham caretaker boss Tony Philliskirk says his side's last-gasp FA Cup draw with Everton is a "dream result" because it earned a lucrative replay. Matt Smith's late equaliser gave the League One strugglers a 2-2 draw to put them in the hat for the quarter-finals.

"Everyone near me was jumping around when Matt scored but I just started smiling to myself," Philliskirk said.

"These have been troubled times and I am under no illusions what a game at Goodison Park means to us financially."

Holding the Toffees, who are sixth in the Premier League, means the cash-strapped Latics extend a remarkable cup run that had already seen them shock Nottingham Forest and Liverpool to reach the last 16 for the first time since they were semi-finalists as a top-flight club in 1994.

But the unassuming Philliskirk, who is combining his caretaker managerial duties with his permanent role as head of youth at Boundary Park, refused to get carried away with their success.
