      Man Utd 3 Everton 1 LIVE RESULT: Rashford scores again as Red Devils reach FA Cup fourth round despite De Gea howler

      by

      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.

      RESULT: Man Utd 3-1 Everton
      Man Utd XI: 1. De Gea, 20. Dalot, 12. Malacia, 19. Varane, 23. Shaw, 18. Casemiro, 14. Eriksen, 21. Antony, 8. Fernandes, 10. Rashford, 9. Martial
      Everton XI: Pickford, 23. Coleman, 22. Godfrey, 30. Coady, 2. Tarkowski, 19. Mykolenko, 17. Iwobi, 27. Gueye, 8. Onana, 20. Maupay, 11. Gray

      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.
      There are two things we know about Farhad Moshiri, he has no patience for managers and has absolutely squandered around half a billion pounds in Merseyside.
      Credit: AP
      Marcus is ‘man of the moment’
      He is United’s top-goalscorer this season with 8 goals.
      Play on the left-hand side of the front-three really does seem to be his best position and he is thriving.
      Cutting in from the left onto his right foot is causing opponents problems and United are benefitting greatly.

      FT: Man Utd 3-1 Everton
      The stats show that scoreline does fairly reflect the game tonight.
      Despite Everton staying in this game for so long, United were dominant and deserve their victory.

      The referee brings the game to a close.

      90+2. If United win this Marcus Rashford will no doubt get the man of the match award.
      However, if The Toffees sneak an equaliser it will be surely Demari Gray who will be scooping that award.
      This game is still hanging on a knife edge.
      Man Utd 2-1 Everton
      90. Rashford’s free kick is tipped over the bar by a full-stretch Pickford.
      Never looked to be going in but may have clipped the top of the bar.

      80. This has been a good cup game this evening.
      Attacking threat from both sides.
      United have dominated the game but their inability to see the game off has meant that Everton are only ever one counter-attack away from an equaliser.

      Big twenty minutes for both sides here.
      Man Utd 2-1 Everton
      70. Dominic Calvert-Lewin comes on for Everton.
      He replaces Neal Maupay.
      Plenty of time for the visitors to still find an equaliser.
      Before the ‘sacked in the morning’ chants continue for Lampard.
      Man Utd 2-1 Everton – Doucoure yellow card
      68. Rashford draws the foul from the Everton man.

      Team news
      Long-term absentees N’Golo Kante and Armando Broja are nowhere near making a return to action for Chelsea.

      Edouard Mendy also remains a doubt after suffering a shoulder injury.
      Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias are both unlikely to feature for City, which means Nathan Ake will probably start against his former club, who showed interest in him in the summer.
