Everton started the game without an established striker. Injuries had also struck again but at least, things do not look as bad just yet. Saha and Rodwell are out of the game, while Vaughany has already been loaned out to Crystal Palace. Moyes is smart enough to realise that Beckford has not done himself any justice for not scoring or even causing much problems in the last three games that he has started.
Interestingly, wife-cheater Rooney is not included in Man U's squad.
Everton seems to be willing to fight for every ball and had Arteta threatened Man U's goal through his brilliantly taken free kick in the 6th minute. Saved by the deflection off the bar.
The Toffees are pressing Man U but when the Red Devils attack, they tend to look more dangerous.
What a wonderful save by Howard! An outstretched leg that prevented a sure goal in the 33rd minute. We even had the chance to watch Hibbo change his torn shorts - his ghostly white legs for all to see!
Another fabulous save in the 38th minute by Howard! A one-handed stop!
What a dumb clearance! In the 38th minute, Evra tried an overhead kick but failed totally! Arteta picked up the loose ball and was one-on-one against the opposing goalkeeper. Arteta dispatched the ball towards goal but was scuppered by the opposing goalkeeper. Only for Pienaar to plant in the goal. Everton 1-0 Man U. Assist: Ossie.
But in 42nd minute, Man U put themselves back into parity with a quick goal. Everton just switched off for that moment and got bashed in the face. Everton 1-1 Man U. Half time. Even a writer such as me needs a breather!
From a draw to one-goal down in the 47th minute. Where are the Everton players??? Everton 1-2 Man U. They have to bring a striker on NOW!
Howard saved Everton again in the 63rd minute. With him playing so well, it needs to be now that Everton should press for the goal. But instead, Everton conceded another in the 65th minute! Distin committed, missed. Berba took control of the ball and scored. Everton 1-3 Man U.
Double substitution. Yak in for Heitinga, and Coleman in for Hibbo.
Yak is showingthat he can make that difference but I guess that Moyes just can't stand the African players as they are taken away for their games in Africa once too often. And that is why Yobo has departed Goodison Park for Turkey.
Timmy scores in the 90th minute. Floating cross from Bainesy and Timmy hanged in the air the longest to score that goal. Everton 2-3 Man U. Assist: Bainesy.
WHATTTTAAAAA GAME!!!!! Final minute in extra time!!! Bainesy crosses, Timmy headed in down, Arteta slotted in a lovely, lovely ball!!! Everton 3-3 Man U. Assist: Timmy.
Incredulous score! COYB!
Score: Everton 3-3 Man Utd
Scorers: Pienaar, Timmy, Arteta
Assists: Ossie, Bainesy, Timmy
Subs: Yak, Coleman
