Premier League - Vidic earns United late winner
Eurosport - Sat, 15 Sep 14:36:00 2007
The big Serbian defender broke the deadlock seven minutes from time as he met Nani's corner and his firm header from close range gave Everton debutant keeper Stefan Wessels with no chance.
United still required Edwin Van der Sar to make a sharp late save to push Scotland hero James McFadden's long-range shot away as Sir Alex Ferguson's side went top of the Premier League.
Although Wayne Rooney was not ready to return from a broken foot, the visitors did have Cristiano Ronaldo in their ranks and he curled a shot narrowly past Wessels' right post on the quarter hour mark.
Earlier Patrice Evra had fired a shot into the side netting from a tight angle but he was forced to drop back into defence just before half-time as Mikael Silvestre was stretchered off after seemingly getting his ankle stuck in the turf
A couple of long-range Yakubu strikes were the best the hosts could manage in the opening period but they started the second-half strongly and Leighton Baines unleashed a crisp drive from 25 yards just wide of the far post before Paul Scholes cleared Andy Johnson's flicked header from a corner off the line.
Scholes was possibly lucky to still be on the field after he dived in on Mikel Arteta moments after being cautioned for handball.
The former England midfielder then squandered the best chance of the game as he volleyed Carlos Tevez' chip wide from close range.
Ronaldo was then booked for a dive on the edge of the penalty area before Vidic stole in to earn United a 13th win in their last 16 visits to Goodison Park.
