Everton set to meet Utd in semis
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 03 - 2009

Manchester United will meet Everton and Arsenal or Hull City will face Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinals following the draw on Sunday.
The games will take place at Wembley Stadium on April 18 and 19 with the final at Wembley on May 30, the latest date for the final in 137 years of the competition.
Manchester United, still in the hunt for five trophies this season, will seek to avenge its 1995 FA Cup final defeat by Everton.
United reached the last four with a 4-0 demolition of Fulham on Saturday and Everton overturned Middlesbrough's halftime lead to beat it 2-1 on Sunday.
David Wheater's 44th-minute header for Premier League struggler Middlesbrough threatened an upset at Goodison Park. But Marouane Fellaini headed an equalizer in the 50th minute and Louis Saha scored the winner in the 56th.
Arsenal knocked Burnley out in its delayed fifth-round tie with an easy 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and will face Hull in the quarterfinals on March 17 or 18.
While all three goals at Goodison Park were the result of poor defending, top quality finishing at Emirates Stadium sent Arsenal into the quarterfinals and a long-awaited meeting with Hull. The Gunners' cup run has been held up by a combination of replays and postponements and Arsene Wenger's team has been a round behind the rest of its rivals.
Carlos Vela collected a pass from Andriy Arshavin, ran between two defenders and, with two more closing, chipped the ball over goalkeeper Brian Jensen in the 24th minute.
Eduardo da Silva added the second in the 51st with an audacious flick off the outside of his left boot, and Emmanuel Eboue drove home the third in the 83rd with a powerful, low shot.
Hull, which surprisingly beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates in September, last reached the FA Cup semifinals in 1930.
The winner will face Chelsea, which cruised into its third semifinal in four years with a 2-0 win at Coventry City of the Championship on Saturday.
Chelsea has reached the last four without meeting another Premier League side.
Sevilla beats Almeria 2-1
In Madrid, Frederic Kanoute and Renato scored Sunday to help third-place Sevilla beat Almeria 2-1 and record its fourth straight Spanish league victory.
Kanoute controlled Ndri Romaric's cross from the left with his chest before driving the ball home in the fifth minute for his 11th goal of the season.
Renato's goal arrived in the 62nd, running in to meet Kanoute's pass and sending the ball looping over goalkeeper Diego Alves.
Almeria reduced the lead eight minutes later through Alvaro Negredo's penalty, awarded after Renato tripped Pablo Piatti. The goal was Negredo's 16th of the season.
Sevilla moved to seven points behind second-place Real Madrid, although it is 13 points adrift of leader Barcelona, with 12 rounds of the season remaining. Barcelona leads the standings with 63 points, while Real Madrid has 57. Sevilla has 50, five more than Villarreal.
The win at its Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium came as a consolation to Sevilla, which was eliminated from the Copa del Rey semifinals by Athletic Bilbao last Wednesday.
Earlier, Valencia's troubles increased when it slumped to a 2-1 loss at last-place Numancia and stretched its winless league run to five games.
Valencia slipped outside the European qualification places into eighth, as Malaga jumped to fifth, and Deportivo Coruna moved above Atletico into sixth.
Depor thumped visiting Racing Santander 5-3 on Sunday, including four goals in 16 second-half minutes, and Malaga won 2-1 at Getafe in the late match despite losing Iban Cuadrado to a second yellow card in the 73rd minute.
Sunday's other results were: Recreativo Huelva 2, Valladolid 3; Mallorca 3, Real Betis 3; and Osasuna 1, Sporting Gijon 2.
