Everton went on to beat Posh 2-0 to advance to round four under the caretaker charge of club legends Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman. Moyes previously managed the Toffees between 2002 and 2013. He won 218 of his 518 games in charge - leading Everton to a top four finish during the 2004-05 season.
