EVERTON 3-1 Manchester United, 20 February 2010
(Bilyaletdinov 19, Gosling 75, Rodwell 90)
Att: 39,448
Youngsters Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell were the super-sub heroes as Everton wrapped up a second momentous home win in less than a fortnight.
Twenty-year-old Gosling - last season's Merseyside derby hero - emerged from the bench as a second-half replacement for Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and promptly put his side 2-1 up against the title chasers.
Rodwell, two years his junior, then stepped on for Steven Pienaar and drove powerfully through midfield to put a serious dent in United’s hopes of a record 19th title.

The Old Trafford outfit’s only consolation is that David Moyes’ continually improving side were equally efficient in putting their nearest rivals Chelsea to the sword at Goodison 10 days ago. Once again, the Scot’s faith in youth appears to be paying dividends.
Yet, it had all started so well for the visitors. Dimitar Berbatov's clinical finish on 15 minutes had given Sir Alex Ferguson’s men the lead and a 13th win in 16 trips to this particular part of Merseyside appeared forthcoming.
Yet, the Bulgarian’s effort was immediately cancelled out by Bilyaletdinov's left-foot bullet – and then came the call for the cavalry.
Just 38 years between them, they left a goalkeeper of 39 helpless.
