03:41One goal is a nil.
03:43Kidd, number 10, Charlton, 9.
03:45Law on the far side, number 8.
03:47And away we go for the second half.
03:52Young Harvey, Morrissey moving into the middle.
03:54Up goes Ball.
03:56Oh, a brilliant header by Ball.
04:02Oh, a sparkling goal by Alan Ball.
04:22Wilson, to Harvey.
04:26And up goes Wall is he.
04:30Well, he saw the wall in the last second because Brennan was there unsighting him.
04:42Wilson.
04:45Morrissey, Ball.
04:48Oh, it's a...
04:49Oh, Royal deflected that one.
04:52That was really a splendid save by Stephanie.
04:55He changed direction as the ball ricocheted off Royal.
05:01Kidd take the corner.
05:06Oh, a beautiful tackle by Young.
05:11Up down to Kendall.
05:14Royal on the right wing.
05:16Now Ball with him.
05:17Morrissey on the left.
05:18How's that for a pass?
05:23Wilson overlapping.
05:28Great play by Stephanie.
05:36Morrissey.
05:41Up comes Kendall.
05:43A great tackle by Stiles.
05:46And Ball.
05:47Oh, a beautiful interception.
05:53That's the second time in about five minutes.
05:56Alan Ball is going to whisk it away from a goal.
06:02I wouldn't think that Manchester United will meet many better defences than the Everton defence.
06:11Oh, a great goal by Best.
06:17Oh, what a lovely one from Wall to Royal.
06:22And he's got Morrissey on his left.
06:25Oh, it could well be a goal.
06:27Morrissey's offside.
06:35Brilliant football by...
06:37Joe Royal, 18 years of age.
06:43Really had a nerve to take them on like that.
06:50Now Harvey.
06:53This is great stuff.
06:55Everton really looking at top-notch too.
07:00Young.
07:03Oh!
07:04Oh!
07:07That was the best wet shot that Alex Young has played for a long time.
07:15Great little chip.
07:19Alex Young!
07:20Alex Young!
07:22Alex Young!
07:23Alex Young!
07:25Alex Young!
07:27Alex Young!
07:28Alex Young!
07:39Goal to Morrissey, Royle and away goes Harvey, it's a goal, yes, goal.
08:0521 minutes at the second half, and Alan Ball has made it two, Alan Ball number eight, he's
08:15got his second goal, Ball has got both of them, well how are we going to see a hat-trick
08:28on the first day of the season, Wilson, ball has never stopped, now to Young, it's three,
09:01oh it's great stuff by Everton.
09:14So if we look at that goal again we'll see once again that Alan Ball's work rate and intelligence
09:19paid off, what a glorious pass it was to Young and then we really saw Young's ball control,
09:25footwork and shooting power.
09:36Well the Everton supporters going mad and my goodness their team deserves a tremendous reception.
09:43ball to Young, ball to Young, more ticket up for Charlton.
09:50And a great save by West.
09:58Well that's the first one Bobby Charlton really got in on the target this afternoon.
10:05And he's now realised that they're getting the defence of their championship with a defeat.
10:13Charlton, oh he scored!
10:21Four minutes left, still left foot to Bobby Charlton, zipped one in.
10:30And the crowd absolutely silent.
10:393-1 Manchester United trail.
10:49The pace of that shot beat West, he had it well covered, this happens so often with Charlton's
10:54shooting, he hits them so hard that goalkeepers get to them but just can't hold them.
11:02Young to Harvey.
11:05Ball calling for it way over on the left.
11:09Goes to Kendall on the right.
11:14And the whistle goes for the end of the match.
11:17A great performance by Everton to win three goals to one.
