Manchester United made a brilliant comeback from two goals down to beat Everton 4-2 and enjoyed a five-point lead in the Premier League on Saturday as current runners-up Chelsea tied Bolton Wanderers 2-2 at home.

With only three games left, United have one hand on the trophy after their England striker Wayne Rooney scored United's vital third goal against his old club in the 78th minute at Goodison Park. The victory was wrapped up by a fourth in stoppage time from youngster Chris Eagles.

It meant that United, who travel to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on May 9, have 85 points to the champions' 80.
