Wayne Rooney left out of Man Utd squad to face Everton

 

Wayne Rooney has been left out of the Manchester United squad for the Premier League game at Everton on Saturday.

 

The England striker is at the centre of allegations about his private life and has been spared an expected hostile return to his former club.

 

"We are not going to subject him to the abuse he gets here," United boss Sir Alex Ferguson told Sky Sports.

 

United face Rangers in the Champions League at home on Tuesday and Ferguson added: "He'll be playing Tuesday."

 

Rooney played up front with Dimitar Berbatov in the Old Trafford side's last outing, scoring his first goal since March in the win over West Ham on 28 August.

 

However, Berbatov will lead the attack on his own at Goodison Park with United's one change being to drop Rooney and bring in Gary Neville at right-back, with John O'Shea being pushed into midfield.

Excellent game so far, end to end and a bit feisty to boot, if you can watch the second half then do it!

 

HT Everton 1-1 Man Utd

 

(Piennar, Fletcher)

Everton 3 - 3 Man Utd!!! Everton scoring 2 in the last minute of injury time! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Eat that you Manc ****s!

that was a game and a half! Moyes wasn't happy at the end!

would love to be in the ManU changing room after... a lot of 'Becks like' ducking!! :)

 

Everton 3 - 3 Man Utd

 

Everton staged a stunning comeback to score twice in injury-time to deprive Manchester United of victory after Sir Alex Ferguson dropped Wayne Rooney for his return to Goodison Park.

 

United looked to be making light of Rooney's absence for Ferguson's 700th game in Premier League management as they held a comfortable two-goal lead at the start of three minutes of added time.

 

Everton, who had looked neat in possession without having a cutting edge, found a foothold in the game with Tim Cahill's header and, with United suddenly rocking, Mikel Arteta fired home a deflected equaliser to spark wild scenes of celebration.

 

Rooney did not even travel with the United squad after a week of allegations about his private life, but for so long it did not look as if Ferguson's decision would prove costly.

 

The outstanding Steven Pienaar gave Everton the lead just before half-time, but Darren Fletcher equalised within four minutes and when Nemanja Vidic and Dimitar Berbatov added further goals to put United in total command they looked assured of victory.

 

Everton's former Manchester United keeper Tim Howard had kept them in contention with a succession of fine saves - and the value of his contribution was underscored in that stunning finale.

 

United were left shell-shocked, and Everton boss David Moyes even ran on to remonstrate with referee Martin Atkinson at the end after he blew his whistle with Phil Jagielka closing in on goal, presumably claiming there was more time to play.

 

Ferguson will be left to rue United's failure to emphasise their superiority in the second half - and perhaps the fact that Rooney was not able to influence affairs.

 

Everton made the early running as United adjusted to the absence of Rooney - but it was still Ferguson's side that carved out the better chances in a pulsating first 45 minutes.

 

Moyes attempted to cure Everton's lack of goals this season by using Cahill in the unfamiliar role of striker, supported by the giant figure of Marouane Fellaini.

 

And again, while Everton showed great promise in possession, there was a lack of cutting edge that meant too often their approach work came to nothing in the opening stages.

 

John O'Shea almost broke the deadlock in spectacular fashion after 15 minutes with a rising drive that beat Howard but glanced off the outside of the post.

 

Everton wasted an opportunity to take the lead when Tony Hibbert's cross was deflected invitingly into the path of Leighton Baines inside the area, but the defender miscued a tame attempt.

 

Howard then came to Everton's rescue twice in swift succession with outstanding saves, first with his legs from Paul Scholes' deflected effort and then a fine one-handed stop from Ryan Giggs as he looked poised to score.

 

The stalemate ended six minutes before the interval, and it was Everton who made the breakthrough. Patrice Evra's error allowed Arteta to break clear, and even though Edwin van der Sar saved his effort, Leon Osman had the presence of mind to set up Pienaar from the rebound for a comfortable finish.

 

Everton's lead lasted only four minutes as United hit back in style as Fletcher timed his run perfectly to steer home Nani's brilliant cross.

 

And Nani was the creator again as United took the lead two minutes after half-time, once more producing the perfect delivery for Vidic to steer a downward header beyond Howard.

 

After Howard was again forced to save from Nani, United produced a masterpiece of technique to add the third after 66 minutes.

 

Scholes' pass dropped perfectly behind the struggling Sylvain Distin for Berbatov to control instantly before he demonstrated great confidence to steer a finish past Howard.

 

This enthralling encounter looked to be moving towards an inevitable conclusion until that dramatic late Everton surge earned a point.

 

Cahill headed home a cross from Baines to give Goodison hope, and the Australian then headed another cross from the defender into the path of Arteta, who scored via a deflection off Scholes.

Arsenal was awesome!! Arshavin should've made a goal though and did tottenham win?

Tottenham drew away to West Brom. In all honesty, they were abysmal in the second half.

 

Arsenal looking good though I'd agree.

devastated by what happened yesterday but i guess the one upside to it was that our aussie timmy scored 1 and had a hand in the other. just confirmed the fact that he is easily evertons most important player and makes the rumours that everton wanted to sell him and replace him with an 18yr old even more ridiculous.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0iSlArGrF0]YouTube - Preston N.E.supporter, Chann Hardwick, cries after loss to Burnley[/ame]

 

Burnley 4 - 3 Preston

 

Chris Iwelumo scored a hat-trick as Burnley produced a stunning late fightback to defeat 10-man Preston.

 

Iwelumo made it 1-0 with a header but Preston hit back through crisp finishes from Adam Barton and Keith Treacy. Jon Parkin made it 3-1 to the visitors but the match turned after the sending off of Preston's Billy Jones.

 

Iwelumo reduced the arrears with a fine volley after 84 minutes and equalised with a header, before Jay Rodriguez nodded in a 90th-minute winner. It was an astonishing turnaround from Burnley but a nightmare for Preston manager Darren Ferguson, whose team appeared to have victory in the bag before Jones received a second yellow card for time-wasting.

 

Ferguson was watched by his father Sir Alex, whose Manchester United team had given up 3-1 lead to Everton in their 3-3 draw earlier in the day. Preston started the brighter with Keith Treacy drawing a fine save from Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen and Daniel Fox blocking an effort from Josh King. But Burnley took the lead against the run of play when former Preston winger Ross Wallace crossed from the left for Iwelumo to head home.

 

Preston drew level when a long ball caused havoc in the Burnley defence, allowing Barton a clear run on goal to score. Treacy gave North End the lead with a fine goal, latching on to a loose ball and drilling a fierce low shot in off the inside of the post. Treacy turned provider for the third goal after 70 minutes as his left-footed cross was brilliantly converted by Parkin. The dismissal of Jones with 12 minutes remaining seemed to instil Burnley with belief, while Preston simply fell to pieces.

 

Iwelumo made it 3-2 with a fine low volley from the edge of the area and then produced a clever flicked header to draw the hosts level. The onslaught continued, and in the last minute of normal time, unmarked substitute Rodriguez headed home to complete a remarkable comeback.
