United’s late flourish is rough justice for Everton

Manchester United 3 Everton 0

It looked like being a bleak evening for the Red Devils as the game entered its final stages before Paul Scholes put them in front, then lashed home a third after Ruud van Nistelrooy had slammed home a penalty.

The fluency of United’s attacking play was causing the visitors tremendous problems, Scholes sending Giggs on a burst which Joseph Yobo did well to shepherd away for a corner.
