United should have had a penalty when Phil Jagielka saved with his hand but Everton could have equalised when David De Gea saved a spot-kick from Romelu Lukaku.

But Everton improved and a 74th-minute own goal from Chris Smalling gave them a lifeline before a late, late winner by Martial sealed victory for United.
