Goals from Kevin Mirallas, Leighton Baines and Leon Osman fired Everton to a 3-1 victory over Oldham in their fifth-round FA Cup tie.

Mirallas opened the scoring after 15 minutes at Goodison Park with a side-footed half-volley from close range before Baines doubled the home side's lead with a successful penalty 18 minutes later.

Oldham goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis fumbled Osman's 62nd minute header to gift the home side a 3-0 lead but Matt Smith gave the travelling fans something to smile about with a headed goal of his own almost immediately after the restart.

Barcelona assistant coach Jordi Roura has turned up the heat ahead of the first of this week's Clasico clashes against Real Madrid by questioning referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco. 

Barca host Madrid at the Nou Camp on Tuesday night in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final, which is poised at 1-1 after the first leg, before the show moves to Madrid for a league fixture between the two on Saturday. 

Roura pointed out that Undiano, appointed for Tuesday's match, had taken charge of Barca's only league defeat this season - when Gerard Pique was sent off in a 3-2 defeat to Real Sociedad in January - and also recalled his stewardship of the 2011 Copa del Rey final, won 1-0 by Real Madrid in extra-time. 

Jose Mourinho is looking forward to what could be the make-or-break week in Real Madrid's season. 

With their Primera Division title all but lost, Madrid must focus on the Copa del Rey and Champions League to try to bring silverware to the Bernabeu this season, but face tough tasks to progress in both competitions in the next eight days. 

Tomorrow night, they travel to arch rivals Barcelona for the second leg of their Copa semi-final, while next Tuesday they will be at Old Trafford for the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie with Manchester United. 

Both ties are delicately poised at 1-1 after first legs in Madrid. 

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri believes his side can challenge Serie A leaders Juventus for the title if they continue playing well.

The Naples outfit were held to a goalless draw at Udinese on Monday and sit six points behind the defending champions.

Mazzarri was pleased with his team's performance at Stadio Fruli, even though they could only manage a third successive league draw.

"I cannot foresee the future, I believe that if Napoli play like we played today we can create problems to any team, Juventus included," Mazzarri told reporters. 

"It will depend on us, because if we play at our maximum we know we can be dangerous for Juventus too, as it happened when we faced them in Turin."

Diego Maradona has mocked Brazilian great Pele, accusing him of talking nonsensically 'when he takes the wrong pills'.

The former Argentina international and Pele are seen as two of the best players in the history of the game, but they have long enjoyed a difficult relationship.

Maradona has once more made the headlines with some controversial comments.

"I think I'm the best player ever. Why would you compare me to Pele? My mother said that I'm stronger and that he used to play with players who didn't even move on the pitch," Maradona told reporters.

"I don't like comparisons with Pele because of the stupid things he says. He keeps on saying stupid stuff when he takes the wrong pills."
