Demarai Gray fires Everton to round 3 - match brief
The keenly contested encounter saw the League One club make Everton work for their win on the night.
Fleetwood came into the encounter unbeaten in their last five matches but have struggled for goals, scoring none in their last two matches.
The lack of cutting edge was evident from both sides in the game but Everton had the last laugh thanks to a moment of brilliance in the first half involving Nigerian star Iwobi and Gray.
Just before the half-hour mark, Gray calmly fired Everton in front from about 10 yards after a fine team move involving Dwight McNeil and Iwobi, who threaded a solid through pass to pick up an assist.
The second half witnessed no further goals as Everton held on for the narrow win to seal a place in round three.
