“It was an unforgettable moment,” Butterfield told evertontv.
 
“I must’ve watched it back at least 100 times! I was zooming in every time and at every angle!
 
“It was a proud moment for myself and my family. There were lots of friends getting in touch with me after it and I was just speechless, to be honest.
 
“We went into the game with no pressure. We had that feeling of, ‘We can do it – we have the capability to win this game’.
 
“The lads were incredible, every single one of them, from the goalkeeper to the forwards.

“Every single player put a shift in. We had a game plan, we followed it out and it worked perfectly.”

MOMENT EVERTON U18s STUNNED MAN CITY WITH 98th-MINUTE WINNER

Luke Butterfield's late, late, strike sends Everton through to the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup with a win over the holders.


Everton’s stunning cup success was tempered by a serious injury to skipper Onyango.
 
The 17-year-old, who made his First-Team debut in January, was taken off on a stretcher 11 minutes from time at City Academy Stadium.
 
It was revealed on Sunday the 17-year-old sustained a significant ankle fracture and ligament injury.
 
“It was heartbreaking,” Butterfield added.
 
“Especially not knowing what actually happened [with Onyango’s injury] at the time.
 
“After the game, we all went to see him to celebrate with him. We all did it for him.
 
“I know Tyler very well. It’s just a bump in the road for him and he’ll get back to the level he was at. There’s no doubting that.”
