Key events<\/p>\n
Andy Hunter has filed his match report, so that\u2019s my cue to clock off. Thanks for your company and correspondence, some of it unprintable. I\u2019ll be back in midweek for the cricket. For now, do enjoy Andy\u2019s piece on how Maitland-Niles put the smiles back on the faces of Everton\u2019s fans.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n Both teams had a fine goal from the right wing, followed by a fine goal from a sub. Everton\u2019s second equaliser was the finest of the four. And Maitland-Niles might not have got on the field had it not been for the injury to James Garner, who had just moved to right-back. But David Moyes had already grabbed the initiative by sending on Jack Grealish \u2013 and Michael Carrick had blunted United by withdrawing Marcus Rashford. Carrick may have been thinking of the next two games: before the Manchester derby next Sunday, there is United\u2019s return to the Champions League on Thursday.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a011.21 EDT<\/p>\n \u201cIncredibly annoyed about that,\u201d says Joshua Keeling, who supports United. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to win when we go ahead twice, especially when we\u2019re winning with seconds to go. Also, Everton<\/a> scored after the added time \u2013 not sure why the referee has played over the five minutes, but it\u2019s cost us there. The derby is now an even bigger game.<\/p>\n \u201dHaving said all that, Everton will take points off a lot of teams at home this season, and I think we\u2019re on the right track under Carrick. Just some issues to sort out early in the season.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Everton inch up to eighth, on five points, level with Liverpool among others. Man United are 11th wiht four points, sandwiched between Brighton and Sunderland. And both clubs will remain there as Arsenal and Chelsea are above them.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Here\u2019s the man of the moment, Ainsley Maitland-Niles. \u201cIt felt like a win,\u201d he says. \u201cThe crowd was with us, we fight to the end and that\u2019s how you get that type of result. The ball fell to me at the edge of the box, I put my foot through it and it ended up in the top corner.\u201d Not content with hitting a worldie, he\u2019s now doing my job for me.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile the build-up continues to the big game of the weekend. It\u2019s Arsenal v Chelsea, it\u2019s That Defence v Rogers and Palmer, so do feel free to join the great Rob Smyth.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n United had more of the ball (55-45), but Everton<\/a> had more shots (18-14), more corner (4-3), more shots on target (6-3) and more grit. United, not for the first time, didn\u2019t seem to know how to kill their opponents off. They scored twice in the second half, yet spent 40 minutes in between doing very little.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n So United concede twice for the third time out of three. And Everton<\/a> remain unbeaten!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.58 EDT<\/p>\n FULL TIME!

Rashford and Shaw they are not.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+2 min George goes for goal, and glory, again \u2013 but he\u2019s so excited that he has forgotten about the offside rule.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min Grealish goes for a big shot, blocked by Maguire. And now Shaw is going off, to be replaced by Mazraoui. Five mins of added time!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min Paul Moody was right: Luke Shaw has put in a performance to Silence the Doubters.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL!

Everton<\/a> still on top\u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 78 min The next yellow goes to Dalot, as Grealish sharpens his dance steps and has to be clawed back. Free kick to Everton<\/a> on their left wing.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 78 min Grealish shapes to dance past Dalot, who tackles him solidly. Fernandes goes down, some way away. Everton<\/a> advance into the box, where Mainoo makes an even better tackle.

It feels as if United will need a second goal to get the win.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 70 min Everton<\/a> free kick: nothing doing except Tarkowski climbing all over Maguire, which is no mean feat.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 69 min Subs for United: Sesko for Cunha, as expected, and Dorgu for Rashford, as not expected yet unless there\u2019s a niggle involved.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 min Grealish could have an assist already! He wiggles in from the left and tees up Dewsbury-Hall, whose shot is all accuracy and no power.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 67 min It\u2019s Grealish time! On comes the dear old ponytail, out comes the big smile, and out come the cheers.<\/p>\n Jack Grealish comes on as a substitute to replace Brennan Johnson.

In the past minute alone, we\u2019ve had a shot from Tielemans with his left foot and Shaw with his right.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 64 min Rashford twists and turns, leaving Rohl with twisted blood \u2013 and a yellow card. But the free kick is wasted as Fernandes blazes a follow-up shot into Row Z.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 63 min Luke Shaw has been booked for something I missed, sorry. Meanwhile the commentators are full of praise for Tarkowski, who made that tackle on Cunha.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 61 min Almost vintage Rashford! He runs and runs and then does some dancing before back-heeling to Cunha, who goes down \u2013 no pen, says John Brooks.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 min The hourglass flips over, and Sesko and Grealish wonder when they will come on stage.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 59 min Everton<\/a> push forward with more conviction, roared on by the crowd. Barry has a shot smothered by Shaw, and then Dewsbury-Hall has more time but can\u2019t get a clean connection.<\/p>\n
