Surprise surprise. Everton weren't expected to have much trouble in the second round of the Capital One Cup -- their opponents were League One side Leyton Orient, who have two losses from their first two games, while Everton have, so far, manhandled both Aston Villa and Manchester United. And they didn't, breezing their way though the match at Goodison Park and emerging with a 5-0 win.
It was a good match for new signing Kevin Mirallas to grab his first goal for the club, and the Belgian duly notched twice, scoring the opener 16 minutes in. Leon Osman managed to grab another six minutes later (from a Miralles assist), and from then on it was something of a rout. The Toffees could easily have scored plenty more than five, but I suppose they were feeling in a fairly nice mood. At any rate, they advance to the third round of the league cup. Leyton Orient most emphatically do not.
