Manchester United wins a lackluster game against Everton to go five points clear of rivals Chelsea and Liverpool before their clash tomorrow morning. To start the match both Neville brothers captained their respective sides and United controlled possession early on. United's first half was brilliant and if it werent for the superb play of the Everton keeper, Tim Howard, United would have been up four or five goals. With this win, it is secured that United will remain league leaders after the weekend is over. Ronaldo's conversion of Carrick's penalty put United in the lead three minutes before the half. Then the second half was a boring display by both teams with little scoring opportunities on either end of the ball. But United preserved the win with a limited squad yet again.
Van der Saar continues his clean sheet of league games to 12 full games and over 18 hours of play since the last goal he conceded. This record is even more impressive by the lack of consistency in the starters on the defensive line. With Ferdinand, Brown, Anderson, Rafael, Evans, O'Shea, Neville, Vidic, and Fabio all playing in the back line for United during this streak.
