4' WHAT A GOALLLLLL!!!!!!! VALENCIA SCORES A STUNNER! United take the lead as Valencia latches on to Matic's cross-field pass from the left and launches a first-time effort on the half-volley. He connects with the ball beautifully and it powers past Pickford into the top corner, giving the keeper no chance. That's a contender for goal of the season.
 
6' United have started on the front foot and have Everton penned back on their edge of their own box.
 
9' There's nowhere for Everton to go with the ball as the pressure from United has been intense in the opening stages of the contest. The Toffees need an outball from somewhere.
7' Young and Mata combine down the left flank, but the latter's cross is cut out by Gueye. The Toffees struggle to clear the ball in their own box before Pickford puts his foot through it.
 
11' Mata scoops the ball over to the left flank where Young has acres of space, but the full-back overhits his ball across the face of goal.
 
15' Everton have space down the right flank, but Davies misplaces his pass for Martina's run, much to the frustration of the wing-back.
13' Better from the visitors as they are stemming the tide of United attacks with a period of possession in the home side's half.
 
16' Rashford has space down the right, but blue shirts quickly converge to narrow his options. He tries to send the ball into the box, but a deflection takes the ball into the hands of Pickford.
16' The Toffees win a free-kick and Sigurdsson launches the ball into the box, but a foul by Rooney on De Gea eases the pressure on United.
 
21' CHANCE! Martina latches on to Rooney's pass down the right and the forward gallops forward to support his team-mate. Martina returns the ball to the 31-year-old, but he curls his effort just past the post. Everton's best moment of the match thus far.
20' Lukaku bursts down the left into space and he sends the ball across the face of goal, but it goes behind Rashford's run to the back post.
19' Lukaku releases the run of Rashford into the right inside channel, but Williams comes across to make an inch-perfect challenge to win the ball.
 
23' Williams catches Lukaku late and the referee awards a free-kick in a decent position for the Red Devils. Mkhitaryan stands over the ball.
 
16' Rashford has space down the right, but blue shirts quickly converge to narrow his options. He tries to send the ball into the box, but a deflection takes the ball into the hands of Pickford.
16' The Toffees win a free-kick and Sigurdsson launches the ball into the box, but a foul by Rooney on De Gea eases the pressure on United.

26' MISS! Keane plays a poor cross-field pass straight through to Mata and the Spaniard releases Lukaku on goal. The Belgian only has Pickford to beat, but scuffs his strike wide of the post. Lukaku shows his former club mercy, but will they make him pay for that?
24' Mata wastes the free-kick as his cross is cleared with ease by Keane. United have lost their way since the early stages of the game.
 
31' The battle between Young and Martina down the flank is becoming interesting. This time Young wins the decision from the referee, but the Everton wing-back almost got the better of him again.
29' OFFSIDE! Martian finds space on the right flank and he whips a cross into the box. Davies meets the ball with a diving header, but De Gea makes the save. The midfielder was offside anyway, but Everton are probing at the United defence.
 
33' United have lost their attacking rhythm that they enjoyed in the early stages of the game. Everton have managed to stymie the threat of Mata and Mkhitaryan in the middle, forcing the home side to play down the flanks.
 
35' A ball over the top of the Everton backline has Rashford and Pickford in a foot race. The Everton keeper slides to take the ball away from the forward and he is able to get to his feet after nudging the ball out of the box then clearing the danger.
35' Rashford runs into the channel before cutting back on to his right foot. He tries to go for goal, but Keane and Martina do enough between them to stop the strike.
