Just when you thought Everton were about to get back into the game, that happens. It's a big blow for the home side and their chances of getting anything out of this game are about 1%.

Manager Louis van Gaal looks pleased on the bench, applauding his players with vigour.

"Everton were caught on the break, but give United credit. They played the ball though, Rooney ran onto it and we were right behind his shot. Howard came out quickly but Rooney got enough on the ball to put it in. 

"After a bright start, Everton are out of this now. They have been punished by United."

A set piece is going to be Everton's best chance of getting back into this match. Ross Barkley with a curled free-kick from out wide which David de Gea has to react to and kick away.

Unorthodox goalkeeping but very effective.

An hour gone, United still lead by two goals.

Louis van Gaal needs to send on a Land Rover or another 4x4 vehicle to try and stop Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian is just so strong, holding off two United men on the halfway line like they are little kids, almost teasing them saying, 'come on then'.

Still no goals for the home side though.

Everton cranking up the pressure and the volume! Aaron Lennon cuts the ball back to Romelu Lukaku, whose placed finish is kept out by the outstretched foot of David de Gea.

Everton denied, can they get on the scoresheet?

Ghazanfar Aslam: I think LvG has now truly understood why it was important to bring Herrera and Schneiderlin back. This is by far the best, most tactically disciplined team he's ever fielded.

Romelu Lukaku is a real handful and causes Morcos Rojo to bundle him over on the right side of the penalty area.

Ross Barkley's free-kick is a disappointing one though, failing to clear the first man.

Goal coming for the home side?

Everton looking much better. Arouna Kone has added some impetus up front, playing a one-two with striker partner Romelu Lukaku before firing a shot which is blocked.

The home fans are beginning to find their voices.

Bastian Schweinsteiger goes into the book. It's for an accumulation of offences, rather than the one on Ross Barkley just now.

It's a lovely delivery into a dangerous area from Ross Barkley, but Chris Smalling can clear at the back post before Romelu Lukaku can come steaming in.

A bright start from the home side as they look to overturn a two goal deficit.

"Roberto Martinez, in bringing an extra striker on, has obviously decided he has to do something to try and disturb the United backline, which was untroubled in the first half."

One minute in and Everton defender John Stones is brought down deep in the United half by Bastian Schweinsteiger. What was the England international doing up there?

Kevin: LvG got it tactically spot on for this game. Herrera is looking fantastic in that number 10 role.

Back under way in the second half at Goodison Park. Can Everton turn this game around?

Juan Mata off and England U21 international Jesse Lingard comes on for Manchester United.

Arouna Kone replaces Steven Naismith for Everton.

"Howard Kendall will always be held in the highest regard, and people will continue to conjure up his memory for years to come."  

Morgan Schneiderlin is running the show for Manchester United so far. The midfielder had the most touches (53), joint-most passes (44) and 97.7% completion.

To cap it off, the Frenchman had a 97.7% pass completion in the first 45 minutes. How he was missed against Arsenal.

"Manchester United started the better and as the half went on they progressed, and could have had a third or even fourth goal. 

"The midfield is causing all of Everton's problems, and the hosts haven't threatened David de Gea much in the United goal."

United comfortable with a two goal lead.
