Manchester United managed to defeat Everton and they keep the pace with Premier League leaders Arsenal. Alex Ferguson’s side obtain a similar win as Arsenal did yesterday, I mean a hard fought win. Cristiano Ronaldo was the hero of the afternoon for “The Red Devils” scoring both goals for his team.

The opening goal of the game was also scored by the Portugues star with a superb long range shot. Tim Cahill equalized for Everton with a great header.
