90+5'

FULL TIME! Everton 1-0 Manchester United! What a fantastic result for the home side and what a performance from Fellaini - he was an absolute monster in midfield tonight. Not a fine debut for Van Persie though.

90+4'

Stat from Infostrada: "Everton are on course to keep their first clean sheet in an opening PL fixture since 1998."

90+2'

Goodison erupts as Fellaini is replaced by Johnny Heitinga.

90+2'

Anderson takes aim from 25 yards and his effort is a good one, just veering away from goal as it flashes maybe a metre wide.

90+1'

We will have four minutes of added time.

90'

Everton run the clock down a little bit more as Steven Naismith comes on for his Everton debut in place of Jelavic.

89'

Great stuff from Coleman as he twists away from Vidic and draws the foul. Precious seconds tick away.

88'

Stat from Infostrada: "Manchester United could lose their opening PL match of the season for the fourth time and first since 2004. On two of the three previous occasions they went on to become champions."

86'

United replace Cleverley, who has done little today, with Anderson to add some more bite in midfield.

84'

This will not be a good start to the season at all for United. They have been caught short by Everton's superior physical condition.

83'

Stat from Infostrada: "Only twice in PL history has any club lost their opening PL match of the season and gone on to become champions - Manchester United in 1992-93 and 1995-96."

81'

Everton change things up as Seamus Coleman replaces Osman in midfield.

79'

United go close! Van Persie with a sumptuous pass through the legs of Distin to try and find Kagawa square but Howard rushes out quickly to put the Japan international off.

77'

A chance for United as Ashley Young replaces the ineffectual Nani.

75'

Kagawa, Rooney and Van Persie swarm on the edge of the Everton box but Hibbert heads away from a Nani cross as Evreton repel United effectively.

74'

Another foul from Fellaini and he is running the risk of a booking for persistent fouling here.

73'

Hibbert clears for Everton and it is telling that there isn't a single member of the home team in the United half. They appear to now be sitting on this lead.

72'

Fellaini has now switched to spoiler mode, committing a couple of sneaky fouls to prevent United from breaking through the centre of the pitch.
