Naismith scores the opener for Everton after a goalless first half. A corner headed to the goal mouth, only to be cleared to the edge of the box. Naismith picked up the ball and booted it goalward. An unfortunate David Stockdale got a touch on the ball only for it to deflect into the goal. Photograph: Scott Heavey/Getty Images

Ashkan Dejagah equalises for Fulham after 71 minutes. The ball found him at the corner of the box with two defenders to beat. He made a short dash past, and hammered it home to make it 1-1. Photograph: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images

Mirallas takes Everton back into the lead after 79 minutes to make it 1-2! A standoff in the first half has given way to an aggressive match. Photograph: Scott Heavey/Getty Images

Naismith scores his (technically) second goal of the game in the 87th minute to make it an emphatic victory for Everton. Baines – who could have been called offside – crossed a low ball to Naismith at the 6 yard box, who put it past the keeper Photograph: Scott Heavey/Getty Images

Rooney slams the ball home from the penalty spot to notch his 17th of the season. Half-time score: Manchester United 2-1 Aston Villa Photograph: John Peters/Man Utd via Getty Images

Just before the hour mark the ball pings around a couple of players in the Villa box and then the ball breaks to Mata, who sweeps a low shot into the bottom left past the flat-footed Guzan. It's his first United goal in front of the Stretford End and gives the home side a two goal cushion Photograph: Jason Cairnduff/Action Images

Javier Hernandez proded the ball home during injury time to give United a comfortable victory which means that David Moyes can leave the field in a jaunty manner applauding the fans as he departs. Final score: Manchester United 4-1 Aston Villa Photograph: Martin Rickett/PA

Crystal Palace v Chelsea Feranado Torres and his Chelsea team-mates find that Jose Campana and his Palace team-mates are not in the mood to be pushovers as it's goal-less at half-time Photograph: John Sibley/Action Images

There's a goal by John Terry early in the second half but unfortunately for the Blues it's at their end. Pressure from Palace's Joe Ledley meant that Terry headed the ball over his goalkeeper Petr Cech to and into the Chelsea net Photograph: Scott Heavey/Getty Images

The visitors got themselves back in the game with goals by Mutch and Caulker, before the home side thought they'd won the game with only seconds left on the clock when substitue Thievy Bifouma tucked home Saido Berahino's cross Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

However Cardiff City's Mats Daehli had other ideas as he scored an equaliser with the last quick of the game to steal a potentially crucial point against West Brom. Final score: West Bromwich Albion 3-3 Cardiff City Photograph: David Davies/PA
