Howard Kendall: Great to beat Man United but I didn’t celebrate Jack Rodwell’s goal

THE win over Manchester United was absolutely fantastic, although I must apologise for not standing up to celebrate Jack Rodwell's goal![LNB]I had a bet on a 2-1 win at 14/1.[LNB]I must have been the only Evertonian in the ground not to stand up![LNB]I'm not a gambling man but after seeing them play in Milan I thought United looked poor at the back.[LNB]I knew if we got at them we could win.[LNB]Diniyar Bilyaltedinov's equaliser was vital. That provided a belief from the crowd to the pitch.[LNB]Mean-while, United simply didn't respond, highlighting the effect Wayne Rooney has on them.[LNB]It was a very disappointing performance from Rooney. His touch wasn't right and his contribution was virtually nil.
