  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Everton
    • Hull City
    • 90+3 Final whistle! Hull lose their fourth league game on the trot while Everton keep the pressure on fifth-placed Arsenal.
    • 90+1 EVERTON SUB: Rodwell on for Arteta.
    • 89' Another corner for Everton on the right is taken short and swung in for Fellaini but Turner heads it clear.
    • 87' Cross in from Halmosi on the Hull left and COUSIN but he heads well over from the edge of the box. A half chance if that.
    • 85' Change of shirt for Turner, seems like there was some blood on it.
    • 82' The ball comes to Anichebe on the edge of the box, he turns into the area and surely he is chopped down by Zayatte but play on says the ref! Hull fail to clear and its drilled in low by Cahill AND OSMAN MUST SCORE BUT HE FIRES OVER! Bad miss.
    • 80' HULL SUB: Halmosi comes on for McShane
    • 79' Cousin is the latest player to be booked, for a foul on Jagielka.
    • 75' EVERTON SUB: Anichibe on for Cahill
    • 73' Everton come forward down the right but HibbertÂ’s cross is cleared by Zayatte.
    • 71' A decent spell of pressure here from Hull but Everton are never really threatened and clear easily enough. Jagielka is back on the pitch.
    • 69' Lescott is down, so is Jagielka, the team-mates collided while challenging for the same ball. Jagielka has come off worse, looks like he copped one in the ribs.
    • 67' ThereÂ’s a free-kick to Everton after some grappling 30 yards out. Geovanni comes off for Cousin.
    • 66' There's a free-kick to Everton after some grappling 30 yards out. Geovanni comes off for Cousin.
    • 65' Free-kick to Everton on the right is swung over and everyone misses it so McShane is on hand to clear.
    • 63' Fellaini takes a touch on the chest and moves into space before sliding a through-ball aimed for Cahill but it is intercepted and eventually bounces out for a goal kick.
    • 61' Geovanni tries to chase a bouncer to the touchline but can't hook it back in time.
    • 59' Cahill is booked after clumsily following through into Myhill although it did seem like McShane pushed him.
    • 58' Everton break, they have men over, surging forward with Osman in the middle and he has Fellaini free outside but opts to go it alone and is tackled on the edge of the box. Poor decision.
    • 56' Zayatte booked for a high forearm into the back of Cahill's head.
    • 55' HULL CITY SUB: Marney comes off for Fagan.
    • 54' Marney almost gets in down the left but Hibbert challenges, out for a goal kick.
    • 52' Free-kick to Everton on the left about 10 yards from the edge of the box but Arteta swings it straight into the chest of Myhill.
    • 48' Fellaini is yellow-carded for a high boot on Turner and Everton are not happy.
    • 47' Fellaini is yellow-carded for a high boot on Turner and Everton are not happy.
    • 46' Second-half underway!
    • 45+2 Half-time and Everton are cruising thanks to two excellent goals from Marouane Fellaini and Mikel Arteta.
    • 45' Arteta then with a short run up AND HE HAMMERS AN UNSTOPPABLE SWERVING DRIVE INTO THE TOP LEFT! WHAT A STRIKE! Myhill flew across in vain as that quite superb free-kick rocketed into the back of the net.
    • 44' Free-kick to Everton around 30 yards out, pretty central and the wall is on the edge of the D which shows how far out it is, Arteta fancies it though...
    • 42' Pienaar now on the right wins another corner but thinks it was a handball. This one is cleared though and Hull counter.
    • 41' Fellaini again causes Hull problems in the box, using his body to unsettle Turner who clears desperately. Out for a corner on the left which Myhill fists away from just under the posts.
    • 40' Arteta to take but the delivery is disappointing, too deep, past Fellaini at the far post and out for a throw.
    • 39' Mendy gets the first booking of the match for a foul on Baines in the corner.
    • 37' Ricketts goes on a surging run down the left but Hibbert slides in and wins the throw.
    • 35' Turner gets forward and sends a low drive towards goal which beats Howard diving to his right but goes wide.
    • 33' Getting a bit scrappy now, although it is freezing out today. Brrr.
    • 30' Long one into the Hull box and Fellaini again rises but it trickles wide! Myhill is down after that, someone – possibly Fellaini – clobbered him in the melee.
    • 29' Cahill seems to be in a bit of trouble, limping off holding his knee.
    • 28' More good work down the Everton right, this time Cahill swaps places with Fellaini to whip in a great ball that the Belgian heads just wide!
    • 25' Hull come forward now, almost a hairy moment for the hosts but Howard comes out to collect.
    • 23' Fellaini chases down Geovanni into the Everton right wing and he robs him, plays it to Osman who fires a zipping cross-shot across goal that beats Myhill but goes wide!
    • 21' Mendy goes down on the edge of the Everton box, nothing given but Hull still have it and eventually Everton get it clear, long upfield and now with Myhill.
    • 19' Everton have the ball on the left with Baines and Pienaar, Baines has it back and whips over a glorious cross AND FELLAINI WITH A DELIGHTFUL HEADER ACROSS MYHILL MAKES IT 1-0! Great run to the near post from a central position and Fellaini's haircut puts Everton ahead. More than a hint of offside though, in fact he was clearly ahead of the last defender - the only question is whether Baines's ball went forward or straight.
    • 16' Decent delivery by Marney to the far post but Jagielka puts it behind for a corner, which Osman clears at the near post. Still with Hull but they go back into their own half. Long forward and King is almost in but Everton are composed at the back and play it clear.
    • 14' The referee has a word with Fellaini after he concedes a free-kick on the right of the Everton box.
    • 13' Mild panic in the Toffees boss as Jagielka mis-kicks a clearance but Osman is back defending to lash it clear.
    • 11' Marney is on the right after a quick one-touch counter from Hull but Baines gets ahead of him and puts it out for a corner.
    • 9' Fellaini is rolling around on the floor wailing like a banshee after a rough challenge from Zayatte. I think his afro absorbed most of the impact.
    • 8' Half chance for Everton as Osman has a crack from distance and the rebound almost falls to Fellaini, but Hull get it away and the whistle goes for an infringement.
    • 6' Hull get forward but the ball trickles harmlessly through to Howard, who launches it and now it's back with Myhill. Both teams just sounding each other out at the moment.
    • 4' Throw to Everton on the left is launched long by Baines and for some reason Fellaini is penalised for a foul on Turner when it looked like the Hull man had his arms all over him.
    • 3' Osman pops up on the right and puts in a testing ball looking for Fellaini but nodded away by Turner for a throw.
    • 1' Match underway!
    • - HULL TEAM NEWS: Andy Dawson and Caleb Folan are out injured while Richard Garcia fails to make the squad and Peter Halmosi is on the bench. Marlon King starts up front alone with Daniel Cousin in reserve.
    • - EVERTON TEAM NEWS: Tim Cahill continues up front for the Toffees with Yakubu, Louis Saha and James Vaughan still injured. Victor Anichibe is on the bench.
