Darren Fletcher scored a memorable goal as he launched Manchester United on their way to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Everton.
Although they were already well on top against the Merseysiders who, apart from a brief five-minute second-half flurry were completely outclassed, United were struggling to make the breakthrough until Fletcher fired home a magnificent volley.
Michael Carrick and Antonio Valencia were also on target to complete the Red Devils' biggest win since August and ensure they heeded Sir Alex Ferguson's pre-match call for a more clinical attitude.
Van der Sar (7.5): Important brave save at the feet of Cahill and another good save from Rodwell late in the game.
Rafael (6.5): Excellent first half, especially when attacking. Lack of height showed in 2nd half.
Brown (7.5): Did well, capped by an excellent tackle when Saha was almost clean through.
Vidic (7.5): The same old Vidic, physical and committed.
Evra (9): Did his mate Park brought back some ginseng? Excellent stamina and great attacking play.
Valencia (7.5): He is fast, he is strong, he defends and he scores. Only setback is he is one-footed.
Carrick (8): Controlled midfield in a steady way, run into open space for teammate to pass and a well-taken goal.
Fletcher (9): Superb goal, industrious effort and great defensive play.
Giggs (7): Link up well with Evra and good assist for the 2nd goal.
Owen (6): Made good runs, but finishes and passes could not match the runs.
Rooney (7): Hassle the defenders and bring energy to his team mates.
Substitutes
Scholes (sub Rafael 63, 6.5) Good eye for gaps to make precise passes.
Obertan (sub Rooney 74, 6) Another cameo, ahead of Nani at the moment
Gibson (sub Carrick 82, 5) Make up the number.
