HERNANDEZ THE MAN UTD HERO
Javier Hernandez headed home an 84th-minute winner to send Manchester United another step towards a record 19th league title as they beat Everton 1-0 at Old Trafford.
The Mexican had come closer than any other United player to breaking the stubborn resistance of a Toffees side who could have had a couple of penalties and for whom goalkeeper Tim Howard was outstanding.
But additional heroics from Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin counted for nothing as Hernandez rose to meet Antonio Valencia's cross and send the United fans wild.
He powered in his 19th goal of a sensational debut campaign to send United into the Champions League semi-final with Schalke in winning mood and knowing if they can avoid defeat to Arsenal and Chelsea in their next two league games, they will surely knock 18-times champions Liverpool off the perch they have occupied for so long.
Jonny Evans was fortunate referee Peter Walton did not view his tackle on Jermaine Beckford as a foul midway through the opening period and Darron Gibson's normally reliable long-range shooting was way off beam
