Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo (L) challenges Everton's Joleon Lescott (C) and Tim Howard (R) during their English Premier League soccer match in Manchester, northern England, Jan. 31, 2009.
Everton held United at bay until one minute from half-time when Mikel Arteta brought down Michael Carrick on the edge of the box and Ronaldo stroke home the penalty. Sir Alex Ferguson's men could have scored earlier but the post came to Everton's rescue on 26 minutes as Ronaldo's toe-poke came back off the upright and Carlos Tevez was offside as he tried to tuck home the rebound.
In the record-breaking game, United keeper Edwin van der Sar eclipsed the previous league record of 1,104 minutes without conceding a goal, which had stood for 30 years.

Arsenal's Champions League hopes suffered a dent while West Ham stretched their unbeaten run to eight games. Neither side managed a chance on target in a dire first half dominated by Arsenal.
After the break Arsenal were all over West Ham but Emmanuel Adebayor wasted the game's two best chances with a shot wide and header straight at the keeper.
