End of 2nd Half
FULL TIME
Breathe. Everton steal a draw with the final kick of the game to deny United all three points and, potentially, hand the title to Manchester City.
Are they out of the race now? It doesn't look great.
However...
What. A. Game.
90+5'
GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 3 EVERTON 3 (Calvert-Lewin 90+5')
EXTRAORDINARY
Everton have every man up including Olsen. Digne's free-kick is into Calvert-Lewin who chests the ball down before nudging the ball past De Gea.
We're all level!
90+3'
United have played really well today but for a ten minute spell that has almost cost them dearly - and still could.
Cavani has been sensational. Everton are lacking a little energy at the end here and United have the ball deep in their half.
90+1'
FOUR ADDED MINUTES
89'
Oh dear.
United almost throw it away as Calvert-Lewin pushes Maguire off the ball.
Maguire wants a free-kick but Everton play on and Richarlison almost finds space for an equaliser.
Margins.
87'
CLOSE!
Digne has a goal on the angle this time but his rifled effort pings off the outside of the post.
Nervy stuff for United. Just a few minutes of normal time remain.
85'
United going in search of a fourth with attack as the best form of defence.
Cavani is doing all the running - man of the match for me.
81'
United win a free-kick in perfect Fernandes territory but the midfielder's effort flies over.
Doucoure is off for Josh King. Final throw of the dice.
79'
CLOSE!
How has he missed!?
United combine with their front four brilliantly but Rashford dawdles in front of goal before lashing an effort one or two yards wide.
They'e had 13 attempts to Everton's three, but there's just one goal in it!
77'
CLOSE!
Fernandes tries to bend one in from outside the box but the ball lands on the roof of the net. It's end-to-end stuff now.
75'
Davies makes way for Iwobi. Attacking change from Everton!
74'
Right up the other end, Sigurdsson whips a dangerous free-kick into the box but Cavani gets the header out.
Everton are pushing for a leveller though, they know what it feels like...
70'
GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 3 EVERTON 2 (McTominay 70)
United are back in front!
Shaw whips in a brilliant delivery from distance and McTominay gets a head to it. Olsen should maybe do a little better but the ball creeps into the corner. It's soft, but United won't care.

United break again as Fernandes tries to drive his side back into the lead.
He picks out Cavani who plays it back in to the midfielder but the Portuguese attempts an audacious bicycle kick to no avail.
63'
SAVE!
United almost have their lead back!
Cavani plays Rashford in behind but his shot from close range is well stopped by Olsen in the Everton goal.
He should've whacked that a little harder for my money.
60'
This game has just got very interesting.
Ancelotti has simply told Everton to get the ball up top down the flanks quicker, and they've done just that. It's causing United all sorts of trouble.
56'
United are struggling with quick balls into the channel now and suddenly Everton look very comfy.
The hosts are shellshocked.
52'
GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 2 EVERTON 2 (James, 52)
Everton are level! Unbelievable.
Doucoure has the ball out wide after some good Everton pressure and he picks out James in the box. The midfielder rifles it past De Gea.
Seven minutes into the second half and we're all square.

GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 2 EVERTON 1 (Doucoure, 49)
Everton are back in it!
It's very poor from De Gea. Calvert-Lewin is running nowhere but just about gets a cross into the box. De Gea needs to either catch it or punch it well away but in the end he just fumbles it into Doucoure's feet who makes no mistake from three yards.
Game back on.
