After flattening Chelsea with a sucker punch on their last league
outing, Everton completed a spectacular one-two to leave Manchester
United's title challenge on the ropes.
Just as they did against Carlo Ancelotti's men ten days ago, David
Moyes' team roared back from a goal down to register another famous
win, which could have even greater consequences at the top given
United are the ones playing catch-up.
This time, young substitutes Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell did the
damage, Gosling bundling home Steven Pienaar's cross 15 minutes
from time before Rodwell sent the home fans into ecstasy at the
end.
For Wayne Rooney, Everton's first victory over United - excluding
penalty shoot-outs - for five years, and only their second in 32
games, would have been particularly galling given his history, although
for once, England's talisman failed to make much of an impact.
