Everton 2-0 Manchester United : Five Talking Points

Two first-half goals from Leighton Baines and Kevin Mirallas was enough to seal Everton's first League double over Manchester United since 1970. The win also moved Everton to within a point off Arsenal with just three games to go.Here are the five major talking points from the game.

#1 United dominate possession, but unable to do much with it

One look at the possession stats would tell you that United enjoyed plenty of the ball. But, unfortunately for Moyes, for all their possession, they never really created too many clear cut chances. The defensive discipline shown by Everton, coupled with their high pressing meant that United were unable to penetrate the Toffees' back line.

And on the few occasions that United got near the penalty area, they looked reluctant to shoot. With Chicharito and Welbeck on the bench, United lacked the pace to get in behind the Everton defence and with just Rooney up front, they also didn’t have anybody to aim for with their crosses.

All in all, United had plenty of possession, but not much else.
