Marouane Fellaini the Culprit for Manchester United's injury time Breakdown

Manchester United looked solid for 80 minutes of the match against Everton that saw 3 shots hit the back of the net.  Angel Di Maria broke the deadlock when Rafael put in a searching cross, Phil Jagielka who cleared the ball over his head, only to find Juan Mata who laid off to Angel Di Maria for a right footed smash  into the net.

Luke Shaw conceded a penalty inside the box by sliding into a challenge.  Leighton Baines stepped up to take the penalty for Everton, having made all of his penalties in his Premier League career.  It was a brilliant save by David De Gea, which the shot was creaping into the bottom corner.

Later on it was Leighton Banes once again putting in a brilliant cross into Steven Naismith who heads the ball into to roof of the net beating out Rafael and Luke Shaw.  United still looked dangerous until Marouane Fellaini was broughon to replace Antonio Valencia who in actual fact looked half decent for the time he had spent on the pitch.

It was the 90th minute with 4 minutes of added time and Everton was pushing the ball forward with no ball pressure from the Manchester United players. Everton dribbles up the pitch and Steven Naismith one on one with David De Gea and De Gea made a brilliant save.



Then in the 93rd minute, Everton had a shot on goal, Tyler Blackett blocked the shot just in front of De Gea.  Ball got outside the box, Everton had another shot and David De Gea made a brilliant save with his right hand to the left which put the ball out for a corner


Everton had one last corner which saw Romelu Lukaku put his header over the cross bar which gave Manchester United the victory.  United are not in the top 4 with West Brom in two weeks time, the fixtures will begin to get a lot more challenging with Chelsea at home and Man City away.  Let's home United could sustain current form after the international break.

Man of the match without a doubt should be David De Gea.  Without him United would have been settling for a draw or even leaving Old Trafford in defeat.  It could have easily been 3 or 4 nil to Everton if it wasn't for David De Gea to make 3 of those crucial saves.
