Megafon is an Alisher Usmanov company and Everton’s week was about distancing themselves from a billionaire sanctioned by the European Union, the United States and the United Kingdom as about reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals. Just along the East Lancs Road from each, Everton were embarking on a swift damage-limitation exercise, and not merely Salomon Rondon’s second-half double after they reached the break level with a non-league team.
