"Spiderman" Pickford shows off his talent, Everton still loses to Man United

Before the 1-0 victory over Brentford in midweek, Man United fell out of the Premier League Top 5 after 3 consecutive defeats without scoring a goal (lost 0-7 to Liverpool, drew 0-0 with Southampton, lost 0-2 to Newcastle). Returning to the top 4, the "Red Devils" performance still could not reassure fans.

However, Man United are very confident in welcoming Everton at Old Trafford in the earliest match of round 30 of the Premier League. Coach Erik ten Hag's team has won both times they met Everton this season, one in the FA Cup and one in the Premier League, so there is no need to worry too much about Everton's improving performance under new coach Sean Dyche.

One of the excellent saves by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford

Man United fired 27 shots at the opponent's goal, but only 5 of them were on target and all of them could not get past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. When the "spiderman" of England was really helpless, it was the goalpost's turn to save Everton from Antony's improvised shot in the 12th minute.

Scott McTominay opened the scoring for Man United with a decisive shot

It wasn't until the 36th minute that Man United finally broke the deadlock in a well-coordinated attack down the right flank. Marcus Rashford drew the attention of Everton's defence, creating space for Scott McTominay to break through to receive a through ball from Jadon Sancho. The Scottish midfielder's decisive, sensational shot into the near corner completely defeated goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

After the break, Man United proactively slowed down their attack, creating opportunities for Everton to rise up. However, the away team also showed that they were as bad as Man United in attacking. Even the changes in personnel by both coaches did not bring about the desired change in the game until the away team Everton "shot themselves in the foot".

Martial came on and scored against Everton

Man United's two main strikers share joy

In the 71st minute, Seamus Coleman failed to control the ball, allowing Marcus Rashford to escape, break into the penalty area before making a cross for substitute Anthony Martial to gently finish into Everton's net, doubling the lead of the match. This was the 12th time the French striker has scored against Everton with 8 goals and 4 assists.

Man United beat Everton, return to Top 3 of Premier League
