22:23
Doucouré marches through the opposing half with big strides and then, with a bit of luck, passes it on to Coleman on the right in the penalty area. He gets stuck on de Gea’s foot defense from a sharp angle of six meters. Mykolenko can’t control the rebound on goal and so Dalot is there and clears.
62
22:20
The subsequent free kick in their own sixteen is quickly executed by Manchester United, but Bruno Fernandes is a bit too playful in the opposing penalty area. In addition, his discard to Eriksen is not accurate enough and Tarkowski can intervene.
61
22:19
Yellow card for Ben Godfrey (Everton FC)
Godfrey keeps his foot on Rashford and is cautioned for it. But things can go on for the United player.
60
22:18
Dalot goes forward on the right and gets a corner kick out of Gueye. This then flies past friend and foe.
59
22:17
Ten Hag apparently found the right words at half-time, the hosts are now playing more dominantly and purposefully forwards. Bruno Fernandes is the one who isn’t really playing the game yet. The Portuguese has problems getting into this game.
57
10:15 p.m
Once again Everton have to deal with a blow to the neck early in the half, actually two this time. Can Frank Lampard’s side recover from this?
54
22:13
The Red Devils stay tuned, Antony gets involved again. But his shot from 20 meters is no problem for Pickford.
52
22:10
Tooor for Manchester United, 2-1 by Conor Coady (own goal)
After the long break, Manchester United took the lead again. Rashford is found to the left of Eriksen with a long change of sides. The Englishman is looking for a duel with Coleman and leaves him standing. To the left of the baseline in the penalty area, he then gives a flat and sharp shot to the middle. Three meters in front of the goal, Coady steps in, wants to clarify, but pushes the game device over the goal line.
51.
22:10
As announced, Iwobi has to be replaced. Doucouré replaces him.
51.
22:10
Abdoulaye Doucouré comes on at Everton FC
51.
22:09
Alex Iwobi comes off the bench at Everton FC
50
22:09
Applause erupts as Iwobi is carried off the field. The guests’ substitutes, who are just warming up, say goodbye to their teammate.
49
22:07
That didn’t look good at all, Iwobi is sitting on the floor crying while he gets an ankle treatment. The stretcher is now also being brought to the field.
48
22:06
Iwobi pulls in a sprint but is then caught by Malacia in the opponent’s half. This stops the former Arsenal player with a tackle, but only plays very little ball. The Everton player needs to be treated.
46
22:04
It continues at Old Trafford. Both teams came out of the dressing room unchanged.
46
22:04
Kick-off 2nd half
45
21:50
Mid-term conclusion:
Then there is a break, between Manchester United and Everton it is 1-1. The hosts started with a lot of momentum and deservedly took the lead, the Toffees were totally beside themselves. Gray’s shot against the post brought her back into the game, as did de Gea’s slapstick. From then on it was an intense exchange of blows with advantages for the Red Devils, who still have to improve in round two. As a reminder, there is no overtime, if there is a draw after 90 minutes there is a replay. Manchester United certainly wants to avoid that given the many games in the coming weeks. See you soon.
45
21:48
First there is a corner from the right for the hosts, then several crosses fly into the sixteen. However, there is no conclusion.
45
21:46
There are two more minutes. Another hit?
45
21:46
Official injury time (minutes): 2
45
21:46
The Red Devils start again and want the lead before the break. Everton are again very solid around their own sixteen.
43
21:43
Again, it’s Gray who leads a counterattack by the Toffees. He leaves Eriksen on the left side and then moves to the middle. He wants to take Onana with him in the penalty area, but Casemiro is there and can deflect decisively.
40
21:41
Ericsen! Manchester United raised the ball high, which then came from Antony to Eriksen on the right corner of the box. From there he pulls the ball to the left corner of the cross, the game device just rushes over it. Pickford wouldn’t have stood a chance.
38
21:38
Varane is up front and even gets past Gueye with a clever trick at the baseline. His low cross then ends up with an opponent.
38
21:37
Whenever there’s something going on with the guests, Gray is always involved. Although he sometimes gets stuck on his opponent with his dribbles, he can always create something.
35
21:35
After the wild first quarter of an hour, the game calmed down a bit. It remains intense and fast-paced, but the degrees are no longer prepared and then handed over as clearly.
33
21:33
Rashford grabs the ball in his own half against Iwobi and marches off. From more than 30 meters he then takes heart, Pickford can fend off the bounce in the left corner with a fist to the side. There was a lot of power behind it.
31
21:32
Bruno Fernandes finds Eriksen on the left of the penalty area with a cross from the right, who immediately puts it back to Antony. His shot attempt from twelve meters is then blocked.
28
21:28
Yellow card for Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Bruno Fernandes first loses the ball against Onana and then climbs onto his heel from behind. For this he sees the first yellow card of the game.
28
21:28
Rashford and Godfrey clash in midfield after a tackle, triggering a pack formation. Referee England takes both to him and clarifies that with an intensive presentation.
26
21:26
As soon as the Red Devils switch to high pressing, Everton really doesn’t know what to do anymore. Usually there is only the long ball by Pickford.
24
21:25
The hosts are trying to calm the game down a bit, letting the ball run through their own ranks. Casemiro in particular is very present.
22
21:22
Casemiro goes into a duel with Onana with full commitment, who then bends over on the lawn. The Everton player needs treatment but looks set to continue playing.
20
21:20
The game is extremely intense, and Everton are now in full swing after Lampard worried in the first few minutes. Tarkowski now clears a shot from the edge of the box by Martial by boldly throwing himself into it.
17
21:18
Pickford holds against Martial! Manchester United counterattacks, Rashford plays martial on the left side of the box in a 2v1 situation. He appears alone in front of Pickford, but fails to finish with a great foot parade.
14
21:14
Tooor for Everton FC, 1-1 by Conor Coady
What is that thing? Everton stays on as a result of a corner, Onana sends Maupay to the baseline after a good duel on the right side of the six-yard box. This slides the ball from there into the middle, where de Gea is completely beside himself and is tunnelled by the ball while leaning against the post. Coady shifts the fastest and still pushes the game device over the line.
12.
21:14
Post! Out of nowhere almost equalization, of course it’s Gray, the bright spot of the last few weeks. He is released on the left of the penalty area and takes heart from 18 meters. The ball hits the left post and from the back of the head of de Gea, who is chasing after him, out of the goal.
11.
21:12
It only goes in one direction. Casemiro wins the ball in midfield and plays to Rashford on the left side of the box. There he gets a little stuck, but can then cast off for Eriksen. However, his shot from a central position of 20 meters goes wide.
9.
21:09
Antony has a lot of space in front of him on the right after de Gea played a good ball. But then he gets stuck on Onana at the corner of the penalty area.
8th.
21:08
The Red Devils start here like a fire brigade, put pressure on early and create quick chances. That can also end badly for Everton.
7.
21:07
How do the guests react to this renewed blow to the neck? Not good, Pickford plays a simple bad pass in the build-up. So Rashford comes to a half-right end on the sixteen, but his attempt then misses a meter to the left. Pickford flies for free.
4.
21:04
Tooor for Manchester United, 1-0 through Antony
The early 1:0 for the favorite. Martial plays Rashford free on the left, the Englishman pulls into the penalty area and simply leaves Godfrey standing. On the left side of the penalty area, he then plays flat to the second post, where Antony slides into the ball and can push it over the line. There’s no defender in sight, Pickford can only watch.
3.
21:02
As expected, the toffees fall deep into their own half. Only from the center line do they really attack the ball-carrying player.
1.
21:01
Then the ball rolls. Everton kicked off.
20:55
The teams take to the pitch at this moment, joined by referee Darren England. The game can start in a few minutes.
20:48
Manchester United vs Everton also means a lot of tradition. In the FA Cup, however, there have only been three duels against each other, two of which went to the Red Devils. Most recently, they prevailed 2-1 at Goodison Park in 2016. Back then, a certain Anthony Martial scored deep in injury time to win. Will that happen again today?
20:38
That’s not the only reason why the hosts are the big favorites in this game. The Red Devils have all won their last six competitive games and have worked their way up to fourth place in the Premier League table. Since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the team seems more liberated, especially the defensive is much safer because they are now working completely in the network. However, Manchester United is now also missing a trained striker, recently there were rumors about Frankfurt’s Kolo Muani. Certainly Manchester United will still be active on the transfer market until the end of January.
20:28
For both teams it is the first game in the FA Cup this season, the higher-class teams are known to be allowed to start later. It’s a very important one, especially for guest coach Lampard, as he’s under a lot of pressure. Everton have been unbeaten in seven games in all competitions, most recently suffering a 4-1 defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion in the league. This puts you stuck in a disappointing 18th place in the table and in the middle of a relegation battle. The bravely fought 1-1 draw on New Year’s Eve is the only ray of hope in recent times, a victory in the cup competition could perhaps turn things around for the better. A resignation of the coach is also possible after another defeat.
20:10
To start, let’s take a look at the lineups. Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag has called Malacia, Varane, Diogo Dalot and Antony into the starting XI compared to last league game. But Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelöf and van de Beek are out. The Dutchman can almost draw on the full, only Jaden Sancho is missing due to mental problems. In the cup, of course, there is traditionally a lot of rotation and rest, which explains the many changes. Everton boss Frank Lampard is also making four changes to his squad. Patterson, Davies, McNeil and Calvert-Lewin are replaced by Godfrey, Coleman, Onana and Maupay. The Toffees also have an almost complete squad, only Townsend is suffering from a cruciate ligament injury and must therefore pass.
20:05
Welcome to the Manchester United v Everton match in the 3rd round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford. Kick-off is at 9:00 p.m.!
