Everton beat Manchester United 1-0 on Saturday to boost their Premier League survival hopes and deal a blow to United's chances of finishing in the top four.

Victory at Goodison Park, courtesy of Anthony Gordon's first-half deflected effort, lifts Frank Lampard's team four points clear of the bottom three having played a game more than 18th-placed Burnley.

But United's season is in danger of imploding - they remain three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham having played a game extra and look increasingly unlikely to qualify for next season's Champions League.
