Well, that was a bit good, wasn't it? Let me know what you thought of that fantastic second half, and what it means for the title race, on Twitter now.
90+5'
FULL TIME. What a sensational afternoon at Old Trafford! United held to a 4-4 draw and that means if City win at Wolves and then beat United in the derby on the 30th, they will be top of the table on goal difference.
90+5'
Nani gets his delivery wrong though as Everton clear. United regather and then the ball finds Ferdinand, who is denied by a tremendous save from Howard! Brilliant!
90+4'
A late free kick for United here...
90+3'
The time is ticking away yet the chance are drying up for United here.
90+1'
Evans gets on the end of a cross from the right and heads over the bar. United are desperate to get this winner.
90+1'
We will have five minutes of added time!
90'
Rooney has a shot blocked from the edge of the box as United pour forward looking for that late winner.
89'
A change for United as Javier Hernandez comes on for Valencia.
88'
Confirmation that United made a change as Scholes was replaced by Jones.
87'
Jelavic, on a hat-trick, blasts a shot over the bar from range. Could Everton yet win this?
85'
GOAL! Manchester United 4-4 Everton! Insanity! Pienaar draws Everton level! Neville plays the ball into Fellaini and he spins before picking out a fantastic pass to find Pienaar, who slots the ball past De Gea! Wow.
84'
Everton make a change as Distin is replaced by Tim Cahill, with Neville dropping into defence.
83'
GOAL! Manchester United 4-3 Everton! Jelavic with another! United fail to deal with a ball into the box as Fellaini causes no end of problems, and as the ball drops to the striker he sweeps it home for his six league goal since joining the club in January.
82'
Evra hits the post! United go so close to a fifth as the Frenchman arrives at the back post to slam his header against the woodwork!
80'
The pace has dropped out of this game a touch after that frantic period of goalscoring and that will suit United, who will surely hang on for the victory.
78'
Stat from Infostrada: "That goal was Wayne Rooney's 180th in all competitions, which takes him ahead of George Best and Dennis Viollet. He has three players ahead of him now on the all-time list: Bobby Charlton (249), Denis Law (237) and Jack Rowley (211)."
76'
Still Everton come forward and Jelavic lashes a shot into the side netting.
74'
Pienaar with a low effort but De Gea has no problem in gathering at his near post.
