MOTM: Seamus Coleman (Everton): A stunning display from arguably the best attacking full-back in the league. A constant menace throughout and solid in defence when called upon.

FT: Everton 2-0 Man United. First-half goals from Baines (pen) and Mirallas keep Everton in the hunt for the Champions League and end the Red Devils' very slim hopes.

Everton sub: McGeady on for Mirallas.
90+3'
Rooney crosses from the right for Smalling who guides his header wide. That sums up United's afternoon and perhaps their season.
90+2'
Another Everton break sees the mesmeric Coleman charge down the right and cross low for Lukaku who can't get his shot on target.
90+1'
Four minutes added.
90'
Everton on the verge of that long-awaited double over Man United.
89'
Back up the other end and Mirallas wins Everton a corner. The Belgian leans casually on the corner flag. Has it really been that easy?
88'
That really was some stop by the Everton keeper who will be desperate to keep that clean sheet after having a routine afternoon for the most part.

WHAT A SAVE! Rooney breaks clean through on goal but sees his low shot brilliantly kept out by the flailing hand of Howard. Wonderful stop.
86'
It's just not United's day. Mata finally breaks free and looks to release Hernandez but he's strayed offside.
85'
Everton five minutes away from a 20th PL win of the season - their highest total in PL history.
84'
STAT: Manchester United have only won one of their last five Barclays Premier League games at Goodison Park (D2 L2).
83'
Mirallas nutmegs Fletcher and is pushed to the floor. Showboating from the Blues. They have been by far the better team.
82'
More superb counter attacking from Everton. Coleman races down the right and cuts it back for Lukaku who slips as he shoots and sees it deflect for another corner.
81'
Again, the Everton corner comes to nothing.

SAVE! Coleman leads an Everton counter and tees up Naismith on the left of the area, who sees his low shot tipped past the post by De Gea.
79'
Free kick to Man United on the far right. It's floated to the far post where only one United shirt is present. Headed away by Stones.
78'
STAT: The Toffees have lost only three of their last 40 home matches in the league (W28, D9, L3)... Make that 41, unless United can produce something incredible here.
