9. The teams are now on their way onto the pitch. Wayne Rooney returns to Goodison Park once more.

10. 1'

    <b>KICK-OFF</b> at Goodison Park...

11. 1'

    Baines looks to launch a free-kick into the box from deep on the left. Leon Osman makes contact, but the header is never threatening the goal.

12. 2'

    Nani looks to get down the right, having left Baines for dead. Distin rescues his colleague though.

13. 3'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Nani</b> booked for a late tackle on Baines, but that is very harsh.

14. 4'

    Baines looks for a long ball over the top towards Jelavic, who is marked by Carrick. The Englishman shepherds the ball back to de Gea.

15. 5'

    Corner to Everton on their right. Baines delivers towards the six-yard box, but the ball is bundled behind for a goal-kick.

16. 7'

    United playing the ball in and around the Everton area. Kagawa central to the move, but no chance created as of yet.

17. 8'

    Baines once more looks for that same ball over the top to Jelavic, Carrick clears once again.

18. 9'

    At the other end, Kagawa plays a beautiful first-time ball to Rooney, but Distin's pace allows him to recover. Rooney cannot pick-out the Japanese midfielder with his return pass.

19. 10'

    A good pace to the game so far. Both teams looking to movethe ball around and attack quickly.

20. 11'

    Valencia looks to overlap past Nani on the right flank and feels he should have a corner after a challenge from Baines. Goal-kick.

21. 12'

    Cleverley and Rooney look to play a one-two at the edge of the box, but the former's run is blocked. The mighty Distin cleans-up once more.

22. 13'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Scholes</b> with a late and reckless tackle on Darron Gibson.

23. 14'

    Fellaini does brilliantly to spin Valencia and burst past Carrick and from a narrow angle he rattles the post. Would be a tough ask to score from there though.

24. 15'

    Danger signs there for Manchester United, then, as the makeshift duo in defemce were badly exposed.

25. 16'

    Vidic gives away a free-kick for a poor challenge on Fellaini to the right of the box. De Gea rises well to punch above Fellaini.

26. 17'

    De Gea stays down to receive treatment. Fellaini's forearm caught him across the face there.

27. 19'

    Nice passing football from Man Utd now, keeping the ball well in midfield.

28. 20'

    Two strikes at goal from Welbeck as Evra's cross falls at his feet. Hibbert blocks both.

29. 22'

    A brief Everton attack comes to an end and United have possession once more.

30. 23'

    Kagawa looks to lay off the ball to Rooney. His first touch is good, but Gibson slides in well to take the ball.

31. 24'

    Tim Howard is not happy. Nani lines up a shot from 25 yards which is not too far wide. The keeper feels he was given to much time to shoot.

32. 24'

    Lovely move from Osman and Pienaar, with the former picking out Jelavic. De Gea gets out to smother.

33. 25'

    From the resulting corner De Gea rises to punch away. Pienaar heads back towards goal and De Gea tips over the bar well.

34. 26'

    Everton are applying some pressure now. United coping well, but this is good stuff from the Toffees.

35. 27'

    United now look to counter with Kagawa starting the attack. They reach the edge of the area but Scholes is clipped by Pienaar. Free-kick.

36. 28'

    Great save! Rooney looks to reverse the ball low to the near-post and Howard does well to save low to his right.

37. 29'

    An almighty scramble in the Everton area as Welbeck bundles his way through. Gibson fails to clear, but the offside flag is raised.

38. 30'

    Half an hour gone at Goodison Park and it's honours even thus far.

39. 31'

    Pienaar lashes a half-volley well wide from 30 yards after Fellaini's knockdown.

40. 32'

    Brilliant keeping at the other end now. Pienaar looks to curl a shot home from the edge of the area, but De Gea only sees it late. The Spaniard gets down low to save.

41. 34'

    Nani is walking a tight-rope now as he fouls Fellaini. The referee has a word.

42. 35'

    Baines and Pienaar combine well on the left of the area, but Carrick knicks the ball away at the last minute.

43. 36'

    Penalty appeals now. Baines looks to get into the area and Scholes bursts across to take the boucing ball. Baines tumbles, but nothing given.

44. 37'

    United camped in the Everton half now, working the ball around the box.

45. 38'

    Big chance for Rooney. The ball reaches Evra on the left and he crosses for Rooney. The England mans shot is straight at Howard.

46. 39'

    Sublime through-ball from Kagawa to release Welbeck. His shot is just wide, but was he tugged as he shot? A sheepish looking Jagielka jogs off. Replays show some contact, but not enough.

47. 40'

    De Gea saves again! Fellaini wins another header and Osman fires at goal. De Gea bats the ball away powerfully.

48. 42'

    United attack and look ominous as Nani runs at Pienaar in the area, but the South African comes out on top. Well defended.

49. 43'

    Almost for United. Scholes to Kagawa who backheels for Rooney, but Distin covers across well once again.

50. 44'

    <b>STAT:</b> Shinji Kagawa has completed 29/29 passes so far. 100%

51. 45'

    Vidic fouls Jelavic as they compete for a high-ball. Baines stands over the free-kick.

52. 45'

    Baines takes and it's heading for the corner. Excellent save once again from De Gea though.

53. 45'

    Two minutes added-time...

54. 45'

    Lovely cross from Kagawa and he picks out Rooney perfectly. The England striker fluffs his header though.

55. 45'

    <b>HALF-TIME: Everton 0-0 Man Utd -</b> Chances at both ends. Great saves from De Gea have kept United level, but Rooney should have done better on two occasions.

56. <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2012/0820/manchesterunited'sshinjikagawa20120816_275x155.jpg"> Shinji Kagawa has been the leading light for Man Utd

57. Will Sir Alex Ferguson choose to make changes? They need to get hold of Fellaini, or there could be trouble.

58. Will Sir Alex Ferguson choose to make changes? They need to get hold of Fellaini, or there could be trouble.

59. 46'

    <b>SECOND-HALF</b> underway, no changes for either side.

60. 46'

    Wayne Rooney is given time and space to cross from the right, but that is awful. Rooney merely finds the fans behind the goal.

61. 47'

    Gibson spins away from Cleverley in midfield and lines-up a shot from 30 yards which flies miles wide of the goal. Terrible.

62. 48'

    Fellaini is not being dealt with. The Belgian rises highest and heads down for Osman whose half-volley rattles the crossbar.

63. 49'

    At the other end, Kagawa slides Welbeck through but Jagielka does brilliantly to recover and deny a scoring opportunity.

64. 50'

    Jagielka does brilliantly again, this time intercepting Rooney's return ball for Kagawa.

65. 50'

    Jagielka does brilliantly again, this time intercepting Rooney's return ball for Kagawa.

66. 52'

    Kagawa is everywhere when United attack and is putting some sublime touches together. Phenomenal so far.

67. 53'

    Jelavic and Vidic tangle once again. It's Jelavic penalised this time.

68. 55'

    Cleverley robs Baines and looks to slide Rooney in behind the Everton defence, but Distin once more intercepts.

69. 56'

    Rooney is once more given time and space 20 yards out thanks to the good work of Kagawa. His shot this time is very poor.

70. 57'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL Everton 1-0 Manchester United Fellaini with a header!!!</b> Corner sent in by Baines and Fellaini is high above Carrick to head home.

71. 58'

    Man Utd can't say they weren't warned. Fellaini has been the best player in this game so far.

72. 59'

    United have players flooding forward in the box and Nani is only supply a good cross. He can't. Howard claims.

73. 60'

    This time Nani does better, though, and wins a corner off Baines. His subsequent delivery of the set-piece is terrible.

74. 62'

    United are really throwing numbers forward now, but Everton are clearing every ball into the box.

75. 63'

    Scholes is warned for a foul on Fellaini this time. He needs to be substituted for his own good.

76. 64'

    Fellaini is terrifying the Manchester United defence. This time it is Vidic who he towers above to head at De Gea.

77. 65'

    There are changes on the way it would appear. Van Persie could be set for his debut, with United needing a goal.

78. 67'

    OFF THE LINE! Kagawa steals the ball away from Howard and gives Cleverley an easy opportunity. The midfielder fires at goal, but Jagielka is covering and hacks clear.

79. 68'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Van Persie replaces Welbeck</b>

80. 69'

    Corner after corner for United now. They are really applying the pressure in the search for a goal.

81. 70'

    Vidic rises highest as Evra delivers from the left, but his effort flies wide of Howard's goal.

82. 71'

    Evra wins United another corner. He is now operating as a left-wing as the Red Devils look for an equaliser.

83. 72'

    Once more, though, Everton clear emphatically from the corner. Impressive stuff.

84. 73'

    Scholes' tight-rope is getting narrower. Anderson sent to warm-up.

85. 74'

    Header after header from Everton as United throw the ball into the area.

86. 75'

    Nani looks to create a crossing chance on the left and does, but his ball is dire once more. He's having a terrible game.

87. 76'

    United's defence is in a mess once more and Vidic takes a big risk to take the ball off the toes of De Gea. This time he gets away with it.

88. 77'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Nani is replaced by Young</b>

89. 79'

    So close! Van Persie does brilliantly in the right channel to play the ball in-field for Kagawa, but Tim Howard charges off his line to smother.

90. 80'

    Evra looks to get on the end of an Ashley Young ball down the line, but Tony Hibbert slides in with a crunching tackle to win the ball.

91. 81'

    Evra and Young once more contrive to give the ball awau in a promising position. It's been a theme for United tonight.

92. 82'

    Once more Tony Hibbert makes a fine tackle on Evra and in return wins a goal-kick for his side once again.

93. 84'

    It's all Man Utd now, but they are not creating any clear-cut chances. They need to find a way past this Everton wall.

94. 85'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Anderson in place of Cleverley</b>

95. 86'

    Jelavic is down and will receive treatment. This is not the start that Man Utd were looking for.

96. 88'

    Ashley Young looks to dig out a cross, but merely succeeds in finding Howard, again. The final ball has been terrible, with Young and Nani most culpable.

97. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Naismith replaces Jelavic</b>

98. 90'

    Four minutes added-time...

99. 90'

    United come again and Anderson fires a shot at goal which flies narrowly wide.

100. 90'

     <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Heitinga replaces Fellaini</b>

101. 90'

     Valencia penalised near halfway and Everton buy some time.

102. 90'

     Gibson fires a shot at goal, blocked by Vidic.

103. 90'

     United still come. It's relentless now...

104. 90'

     <b>FULL-TINE: Everton 1-0 Manchester United -</b> Marouane Fellaini's towering header gives Everton the victory in a tremendous defensive effort from the Toffees.

105. David Moyes will be delighted with that result. His tactics worked perfectly and Everton will take home a deserved three points.

106. For Manchester United: Kagawa and De Gea were excellent all game. Rooney and Nani, not so much.

107. That's it for tonight. Join us again for Live Commentary on Europa League qualifying this Thursday.
