LONDON – U 26. kolu nogometnog prvenstva Engelske Manchester United je na svom terenu pobijedio Everton sa 2-0 pogocima Ryana Giggsa (13) i Robina van Persiea (45), te je gradskom rivalu Manchester Cityju pobjegao na 12 bodova prednosti. Manchester City je u subotu doživio bolan poraz kod Southamptona 1:3.
Hrvatski reprezentativac i napadač Evertona Nikica Jelavić je ponovno, kao i u prošlom kolu, ušao u igru u drugom poluvremenu, odnosno u 57. minuti, a najbolju priliku imao je u 81., ali je njegov udarac zaustavio vratar David De Gea. Jelavić je ove sezone zabio tek sedam golova u Premier ligi.
