Toffees cause sticky situation for the champions

Bryan Oviedo's goal four minutes from time condemned Manchester United to a disappointing defeat this morning as David Moyes' former club Everton, who actually seem to be performing better without him, stole the points at Old Trafford in a match where no yellow or red cards were dished out. United were looking to go above the Toffees in the table but Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck were both out of luck in front of goal when denied by the woodwork, and the Merseysiders took full advantage late on. The Reds came closest to scoring in an evenly-matched first half when Rooney struck a post. The in-form hitman, playing against his first club, saw his shot deflect off both Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin before hitting the upright and Tim Howard diverted the rebound away from Shinji Kagawa. But seriously, the Red Devils are not performing at the top of their game right now. They are 12 points behind the champions. It's a miracle they are even in the top half of the table right now.
