United weren't behind for too long as Luke Shaw's cross from the left found Bruno Fernandes, who sent a fine header into the far corner six minutes later.

The turnaround was complete in the 32nd minute when Fernandes' cross missed Rashford's head by inches and sailed in off the upright.

The sides came out with the same intensity in the second half, although Everton were unable to carve out chances which Gylfi Sigurdsson replaced by Alex Iwobi.
