"Interfering" in that scenario is Lukaku actually playing the ball. Rules are quite straight forward on that one.

Lukaku runs towards the ball but doesn't play it, at the same time Mirallas comes from onside and does play the ball. No infringment by Lukaku.

Now, if Mirallas (or any Everton player) was nowhere in sight then Lukaku would have been penalised for offside when he made a move towards the ball.

But because anothr Everton player who was onside when the ball was played runs onto it Lukaku isn't penalised.

United screwed up quite simply.

Now i believe there is soemthing to be said in their defence for the fact Lukaku being in an offside position affected their movement thus he was interfering, but the law doesn't take that into account.

....it wasn't offside.

Just found this on page 5 of the Red Cafe match thread.

A poster called Chicoazul on Grand Old Team, a Everton forum does a preview of each Premier League match. Here is the one for our game on the weekend. Some precious people could find it offensive so be warned.

Translated into reality: "Everton = played with aggression and passion, actually understood how to defend, beat United by 2 goals more than Mourinho did.

whats our position in that

....from what folk were saying we were third or forth a month or so ago but since then those above have been naughtier than us. The Reds are one of those above us and are probably top.

Are we safe yet?
