The Toffees proved tricky to pick apart in the opening 45 minutes.
But three second half strikes, from Floyd Samba, Reigan Heskey and Teddie Lamb, boosted by Everton reduced to 10, saw City confirm our place in the final four in front of a fantastic crowd at the Joie Stadium on Friday night.
MATCH REPORT | CITY 3-0 EVERTON
Whilst by Reiss’ standards it might not have been our strongest performance in the prestigious competition this season, he and the team are pleased to be through to the semi-finals where we will host Blackburn Rovers next month.
“Great!”, said Reiss when asked how he and the team were feeling at full-time.
“Because the semi-final now. We are happy of course after winning this game.
“It was tough, we made it a little bit too difficult in a lot of phases of the game, especially at the end when we were one man up.
“But yeah in the end 3-0 is a well deserved and we’re happy of course.”
