The song they sang relentlessly captured the tone of the night. High up in the East Stand, and in a huge chunk of its middle tier, 9,000 Evertonians kept on hollering about ‘The Spirit of the Blues’.

Things have been challenging for Frank Lampard, so much so it is a case of when, rather than if, he is removed from his role as manager. But there was never going to be anything other than goodwill towards him at Old Trafford from Evertonians, who are sick to the back teeth of off-field affairs.
It was more woe for Frank Lampard who's Everton side were defeated 3-2 by Man United
The win means Erik ten Hag's side will meanwhile advance to the next round of the FA Cup
So they roared themselves hoarse, refusing to lie down and accept their fate in Manchester, even when Antony, a winger whose approach can comfortably be described as ostentatious, put United ahead within three minutes.
Lampard and his players need every bit of assistance
