Kevin Mirallas scored a fantastic 25 yard freekick as Everton came from a goal down to beat Aston Villa 2–1. Everton lost for the second time in three games as Tottenham Hotspur defeated them 1–0 at White Hart Lane, but their form in the FA Cup continued with a 3–1 home success over Swansea City to reach the quarter-finals. The club then lost a second league game in a row for the first time this season when Chelsea scored a stoppage time winner at Stamford Bridge.
