42'
United having a lot of the ball in front of the Everotn back four. It's all rather static though. Not much space in behind and the Blues look dangerous on the counter.
41'
United fizzing a fair few crosses into the mix but Everton are dealing with them manfully.
40'
A lightning break sees Mirallas go one-on-one with Evans. Unfortunately the Belgian bamboozles himself and falls over! Evans steps clear and plays it forward for the away side.
39'

38'
Rooney's corner evades everyone. Nani picks up the pieces but Jones can't convert his flick at the near post.
37'
Corner to the visitors. Rooney to take...
36'
CLOSE! Everton carve United open again. Naismith drifts a lovely ball into the path of the marauding Coleman who fizzes a low cross into the six-yard box, but Lukaku can't quite get there.
35'
As it stands, Everton will be one point behind fourth-placed Arsenal. Both sides will have three games left and the Blues boast a better goal difference... just!
34'
Everton win a corner and some respite but it's easily cleared at the near post. Here come United again down the right.
33'
Perfection from Baines.
32'
The visitors have responded well to going behind. Nani exchanges a one-two and gets to the byline but it's more fine defending by the Everton back four to avert the danger.
31'
STAT: One more win for the Toffees will see them attain a club high of wins in a Premier League season.
30'
United look to respond and Buttner goes down under a challenge from McCarthy. No chance of a penalty though.
29'
Sensational stat!
28'
GOAL! Everton lead. Baines steps up and lashes the spot kick down the middle as De Gea dives to his right.
27'
Jones booked.
26'
An Everton counter sees Lukaku cut in and fire a shot at goal that Jones blocks with his hand.
25'
Penalty to Everton!
24'
A 'grim reaper' costume has been an off-the-pitch sub plot at Goodison this afternoon. Lots of fans joking about it on Twitter with regards to Moyes and his United job.
23'
PHOTO: Mirallas and Fletcher epitomise the midfield battle thus far.
22'
EVERTON CHANCE: Sylvain Distin hoists a long free kick towards Lukaku who nods it down for Naismith, but the Scot crashes over on the volley from just inside the box. He had time to take a touch there. A big opportunity blown.
