GOAAAAALLLL! Everton 0-2 Manchester United (Lingard).
A lovely, lovely goal by Lingard! He collects a pass from Pogba, is allowed to turn, dances past Keane and curls the ball into the top corner from 20 yards.
That will do it, surely.

Everton have been much more aggressive since McCarthy was introduced just over 10 minutes ago. The midfielder seems to be winning every challenge in the centre of the park.
73'
Corner to Everton... Vlasic swings it in and Williams reacts quickest. However, it's blocked and Pogba hacks clear.
72'
Everton come forward once more... Holgate shrugs off Pogba, cuts the ball back to Davies whose shot is blocked!
71'
That Everton opportunity has lifted the crowd, and perhaps this game isn't quite dead and buried? Allardyce's side still have around 20 minutes to find an equaliser...
70'
WIDE!
Everton win the ball in midfield, work the ball wide to Holgate who picks out Niasse at the near post. However, the forward can't quite direct his header on target.
Much better from Everton!

Martial is left with Keane and he turns the former Burnley defender inside out before delivering a cross to the back post, but it just narrowly evades Pogba.
