They achieved this, in a scrappy performance riven with tension until Iliman Ndiaye danced through the Rovers rearguard and pinged a cute finish in off Ian Lawlor's right post to make it 2-0 on 74 minutes.
Victory was confirmed by Beto's late strike, and was reward for Sean Dyche after the manager fielded a strong XI including Jordan Pickford, Michael Keane and Dwight McNeil to try to do so.
This classic early-season cup meeting of top-flight giant and bottom-tier minnow had a flashpoint when Everton's captain, Séamus Coleman, charged over to Jack Senior to inform him not to shove Jesper Lindstrøm down the Goodison Park touchline slope again.

For a moment a comical own goal was on the cards but the Rovers No 1 recovered.
