He's got that goal he wanted so much! Lukaku's setpiece cannons off to Herrera who sends it back into the box, Lingard flicks it on and Lukaku is left with the simple job of tapping it in from three yards.
He then cups his ears at the Everton support... no love lost there
88' Lingard goes down at the edge of the box under pressure from Baines and Lukaku has made sure he's the only one who'll ever take it... the freekick is woeful, but....
87' A horrible pass from Gylfi Sigurdsson summarises Everton's performance as he passes it out of play - twenty yards away from his intended target. Mourinho takes this opportunity to send on Anthony Martial for Henrikh Mkhitaryan... Old Trafford breaks out into their favourite chant "50 mill down the drain...."
85' Lukaku plays in Lingard once again and the Englishman does well to keep the ball alive and bring Mkhitaryan into play but the Armenian's ball in is poor. Everton try to counter at pace (finally) but Calvert-Lewin had strayed offside before Sandro had sent the ball that sent him roaring forward
Just as Old Trafford had broken out in their chant about Wayner Rooney, Romelu Lukaku makes the decisive move of this half. Williams gifts him the ball and the Belgian does superbly to pick out Mhitaryan - who makes no mistake in passing the ball past Pickford and into the bottom corner.
82' Young releases Herrera down the left but the Spaniard's ball into the box is cut off easily enough... Bailly then tackles his way into the ref's book by scything through Sigurdsson.
80' Mkhitaryan tries to play a quick one-two with Lukaku but the Belgian can't get that return ball away as he gets crowded by all three of Everton's centre-backs
79' United are slacking off now and then and this won't best please Mourinho. Another loose Mkhitaryan pass gifts it to Rooney but to the Armenian's relief Rooney's pass forward is equally abysmal
78' OH! CONTROVERSY! Mkhitaryan sends in a lovely little ball that Lingard does supremely well to take away from Williams... just as he gets his shot away he appears to get pulled back, but Marriner waves play on!
77' The changes are ringing in now as Juan Mata makes way for Ander Herrera and Dominic Calvert-Lewin comes on, belatedly to introduce some pace into the visitor's side, for Idrissa Gueye
75' The pace has picked up a touch now, and Lingard bombs forward after being released by a lovely Mata ball. The Englishman goes for the curler, but it deflects away for a corner that comes to nothing.
74' Leighton Baines gets the ball on the left after he makes what feels like his first run forward and his ball into the box finds Sandro. The ex-Malaga man cuts in and tries to get a shot away... but Jones holds his ground
71' Rooney plays in Sigurdsson with a lovely ball but the latter doesn't have the pace to trouble Bailly... Lingard flies down the other end and he certainly has the pace to trouble Keane... Martina joins in to help his mate but ends up booting Lingard to earn a yellow and give away a freekick.
70' CHANCE! LINGARD! Ashley Youung channels his Aston Villa-Watford days to rip down the left and send in a lovely square ball that finds Lingard all by his lonesome just outside the six-yard box. He, in turn, attempts to pass it into the net with first-time finish, but all he can find is row Z
69' This game has gone from electric to borderline pedestrian in the blink of an eye, hasn't it? Martina fouls Mkhitaryan in his own half and United have a chance to move forwards with real intent.
United once again waited until the end to kill the game off - they once again didn't play all that well, but come away with a superb result.
