Manchester United clinched a resounding 3-0 victory over Everton in the 13th round of the Premiership, showcasing what might be their best performance of the season. From the outset, the match was marked by intense action. In the second minute, McTominay’s fall in Everton’s penalty area led to a controversial non-call by the head referee. Quickly thereafter, Garnacho scored a stunning goal, reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo’s style, putting Manchester United in the lead with an assist from Diogo Dalot.
The team continued to dominate, with Shaw narrowly missing a goal ten minutes later. Everton’s Calvert-Lewin attempted to equalize in the 32nd minute, but Onan’s exceptional save kept Manchester United ahead. The pressure mounted until the 54th minute when Rashford confidently scored from the penalty spot, doubling the lead. Everton had a glimmer of hope in the 56th minute with Gueye’s attempt, but Onan thwarted it with another brilliant save. Garnacho nearly added to the tally in the 71st minute, but his shot veered just wide.
The final blow came in the 75th minute when Martial, assisted by Fernandes, secured Manchester United’s victory. Everton’s Mykolenko came close in the 78th minute, hitting the crossbar, but the score remained unchanged. Manchester United’s third consecutive win brings them to 24 points and sixth place in the league. In contrast, Everton, penalized ten points for financial regulation violations by the league management, is now second to last with only four points.
