MANCHESTER UNITED are through to the fourth round of the FA Cup thanks to a 2-1 win over Everton.
The Red Devils went in front after four minutes thanks to Antony’s tap-in as Frank Lampard’s Toffees got off to the worst possible start.
But De Gea let a ball scramble through his legs for Conor Coady to tap in just minutes later.
However soon after the start of the second half, Coady had the ball in the net again, this time at the wrong end.
And Rashford made it 3-1 late on with a penalty.

Games come thick and fast
United now face Charlton Athletic in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup next week before facing Man City at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
Everton next face Southampton at Goodison Park in a game that has huge relevance to the bottom half of the table.
After that they travel to West Ham which could be a game of significant importance in their relegation fight, it remains to be seen if Frank Lampard will be in charge to visit his old stomping ground.
Everton boss looking frankly worried
As Frank Lampard walked off the pitch, he applauded the Everton fans, as he does after every game.
Given the current climate, you cannot help but wonder whether he is saying goodbye to the fans.
