    Dynamo Kiev have erupted a white wall in front of their keeper. They'll be happy to escape with a narrow defeat.

    Another near miss as Leon Osman connects with Romelu Lukaku's cross but the ball fizzes just wide of the Kiev goal. This is incredible pressure from Everton.

    Everton aren't sitting back on this lead. Romelu Lukaku is again looking to power his way through Kiev's defence. Here comes another chance.

    Goodison is bouncing. Romelu Lukaku has become Everton's leading scorer in Europe. The Toffees deservedly have a lead. Can Kiev respond in the final few minutes?

    It's in! Just. Romelu Lukaku scores his seventh goal of this Europa League campaign but the Kiev keeper almost gets a foot. It's not a great pen, struck right down the middle and not all that powerfully. Everton don't care. They have the lead.

  7. PENALTY TO EVERTONpublished at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    Handball from Danilo Silva - clearly handling Leon Osman's cross. Needless.

    Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto has saved a penalty from Roma's Adem Ljajic to preserve his side's 1-0 lead at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

    Meanwhile, a Gonzalo Higuain hat-trick has given Napoli a 3-1 lead against ten-man Dinamo Moscow and defending champions Sevilla lead 3-1 at Villarreal.

    Still one way traffic. But for all their attacking intent Everton are still on level terms. They need to take one of these chances.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:38 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    Boos ring out at Goodison. But they're not directed at Roberto Martinez. Instead it's Oleg Gusev who is on the receiving end of the fans' frustration as he eats up a few extra seconds by walking off ever so slowly. Artem Kravets is the new man on.

    Everything Sport:, external Steven Naismith highly underrated. Always drives Everton and almost as much of a talisman as Lukaku.

    Karn: , external Everton fans disgraceful calling for Martinez's head. Worshipped him last year. He could win you this cup and be in Champions League.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:35 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    Olexandr Shovkovskiy has been anything but convincing but the Kiev keeper gets his angles right to keep out another fierce attempt by Romelu Lukaku.

    Another change. Leon Osman, who knows how to score, comes on for Ross Barkley for the final 17 minutes or so. Everton are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at this to establish the lead.

  13. CLOSE!published at 21:31 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    So much talk about Andriy Yarmolenko before this game. We've not seen too much of Kiev's danger man until now as he creates space for himself just outside the area before teeing up a shot...and firing just over. Oh so close.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:29 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    Kiev make a change - with the experienced Denys Garmash replacing Vitaliy Buyalskiy.

    James McCarthy whips in a pin-point cross for Arouna Kone. The Everton sub, seven yards out, leaps high above his marker but his header is just about kept out by the keeper.

    Cameron Laws:, external A lot of people forget Lukaku is still only 21 years old. His ability for that age is remarkable, he'll keep improving.

    Jamie Yates:, external We don't want Martinez football, Moyes football or anyone else's brand of football at Goodison Park. We want EVERTON football.

    DSM:, external This Dynamo Kiev keeper is truly appalling, he's about on par with the legendary Massimo Taibi.

    Positive change by Roberto Martinez as midfielder Kevin Mirallas is replaced by striker Arouna Kone.

    This is a belter. Dynamo Kiev remind everyone they still carry a threat as Dieumerci Mbokani heads onto the roof of the net after Everton fail to clear a corner. There's movement on Everton's subs bench.

    Gonzalo Higuain has bagged a hat-trick to give Napoli a 3-1 lead against ten-man Dinamo Moscow, who had midfielder Roman Zobnin sent off shortly after the break at the Stadio San Paolo.

    At the Estadio El Madrigal, Villarreal's Luciano Vietto temporarily halved the deficit for the hosts before Sevilla's Kevin Gameiro netted two minutes later to make it 3-1 to defending champions in the all-Spanish tie.

    Fiorentina are 1-0 up in their all-Italian tie with Roma.
