# Everton: Fans hail Marouane Fellaini after throwback goal v Manchester United

**Many Everton fans have been hailing their former ace Marouane Fellaini as the Merseyside club posted a throwback goal of his versus Manchester United on their official Twitter page.**

As per the [tweet](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1296445530051141632), the powerhouse can be seen towering above his marker and putting a bullet header into the bottom corner at Goodison Park to give his team the lead back in 2012, as the Toffees eventually ran out 1-0 winners against the Red Devils.

Fellaini was a good servant to the Blues, as he scored a total of 33 goals and made a further 26 assists in 177 games across six consecutive seasons, according to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marouane-fellaini/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/39679/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=).

Considering that the 32-year old mainly operated from the [centre of the pitch](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marouane-fellaini/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/39679/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=), these are rather impressive totals, as Fellaini also offered a physical presence for EFC, as exemplified by his towering header.
