Tevez had an early go with a volley but went well wide. Ronaldo crossed the ball into the middle, rooney onto Tevez but just wide again. Lescott haad a go on target form the left hand side but saved. Tevez crosse dthe ball over to Ronaldo he took his time cued up the shot and curled in a high left shot on the 22nd min. Cahill got a goal back on the 27th min when he headed one home. Ronaldo had good play through to Rooney who tried to chip the ball in but kept out. It was all very one way traffic with Utd having chance after chance but Everton held their own until Pienaar gave away a stupid tackle by sticking his leg out from behind to trip up Giggs, penalty taken by Ronaldo 88th min taking the win, should have finished 1 - 1 if it hadnt been for a stupid mistake.
