Frank Lampard’s Toffees did a tough job without Dele but got past the non-league side to reach the quarter-finals.

Dele, 25, was level for the cup having played in Tottenham’s third-round win against Morecambe in January. So instead, the forgotten England man joined Manchester City friends Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker and Riyad Mahrez for dinner. The celebrity quartet met at Gino D’Acampo’s Luciano restaurant in upscale Alderley Edge, Cheshire. Dele and Co then moved on to Perea Bar & Restaurant before the midfielder went home. He was photographed walking back to his posh £300,000 Rolls-Royce at 8:10pm, five minutes before his Everton team-mates were due to start. Meanwhile, the City stars had the night to themselves after beating Peterborough 2-0 in the championship on Tuesday. 7 –

FREE BETS – GET OVER £2,000 IN NEW CUSTOMER OFFERS Both Mahrez and Grealish were on the scoresheet in the FA Cup win, while Walker was not in the squad. However, Dele didn’t miss much of the action while driving home, with Everton failing to score past fifth-tier Boreham Wood until just before the hour mark. A Salomon Rondon brace means Dele will also miss the quarter-final trip to Crystal Palace who were eliminated in last night’s FA Cup draw. He has played four times in total since trading Spurs for Everton on winter deadline day. The star came under fire after turning up at Goodison in the same Rolls-Royce he used last night when he signed up for the club. However, Boss Lampard was quick to defend Dele for his fancy engine and designer clothes. After listening to criticism from various pundits, Lampard said: “I don’t care what car he drives or what clothes he wears, as long as he comes to training every day, wants to improve every day, respects the club and his teammates and gives it everything”. 7 –
