Everton 0-3 Manchester United: Alejandro Garnacho's overhead stunner helps Red Devils earn biggest win of the season - Eurosport

Garnacho

Manchester United escalated to the top six position in the Premier League after securing a confident 3-0 victory against a lively yet ineffective Everton team at Goodison Park. The highlight of the match was Alejandro Garnacho's stunning goal that is said to be in contention for the season's best goal.

A young footballer from Argentina scored his first goal of the season in the English Premier League. He achieved an incredible feat by using an overhead kick to score. The goal occurred just three minutes into the game, when he received a cross from Diogo Dalot while facing away from the opposition's goal. This brilliant strike from around 14 yards out left the England goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, helpless as the ball spun past him.

Everton supporters who were not pleased with the club's 10-point deduction due to breaking financial regulations expressed their dissatisfaction through a protest. However, the fans were left speechless after Garnacho's spectacular finish that was full of creativity and skill.

It's hard to imagine a more athletic way to end a game than what happened in the Premier League since it began in 1992. The most iconic image is likely Wayne Rooney's bicycle kick goal for United against Manchester City in 2011.

In the first half, Everton, under the leadership of Sean Dyche, took the lead with some exceptional gameplay. Kobbie Mainoo put his skills to use and had to clear the ball from the line to prevent Dwight McNeil from scoring a goal and levelling the game. McNeil was making his debut in the Premier League for United, and he definitely made an impact.

Their wastefulness cost them greatly, as Marcus Rashford scored a penalty goal on the 56th minute following Ashley Young's foul on Anthony Martial, which was confirmed by a VAR review. Martial executed the third goal of the match on the 75th minute with a chip over Pickford, assisted by Bruno Fernandes, securing the victory.

This is United's most significant victory this season, which moves them up to the sixth spot passing Newcastle by a single point. On the other hand, Everton, who are trying to avoid relegation, are still second from the bottom of the league with only four points.

Kobbie Mainoo Shines As Player Of The Match For Manchester United

The youth player from United demonstrated exceptional skills beyond his age, reminiscent of the legendary player Roy Keane. He had an astounding ability to read the game, receive the ball, pass it, and maintain his momentum throughout the match.

It's hard to believe that this was the young 18-year-old's first time starting in the Premier League. He handled everything really well and even stopped Dwight McNeil from scoring a goal by clearing the ball off the line during the frantic first half.

After putting in a hardworking performance in the center of the Manchester United midfield for 70 minutes at a packed Goodison Park, he was substituted with Sofyan Amrabat taking his place.

The Everton football team's performance rating in their recent match goes as follows: Pickford received a score of 6, Young also received a 6, Tarkowski got 7, Branthwaite achieved a score of 6, and Mykolenko drew a score of 7. For the midfielders and forwards, Harrison, Garner, and Gueye all received a score of 6 while McNeil and Doucouré were awarded a score of 7. Additionally, Calvert-Lewin also secured a score of 7. As for the substitutes, Patterson, Danjuma, Chermiti, and Dobbin all achieved a rating of 6.

Manchester United's match saw a stellar performance from their team. Onana, Dalot, Lindelöf, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Mainoo, Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho and Martial all brought their A-game and were given a score of 7 or 8. The substitutes, Amrabat, Pellistri, Wan-Bissaka and Mejbri, also performed admirably and were given a score of 6 each. Overall, the team put up a great effort and played splendidly.

United scores a stunning goal as Alejandro Garnacho connects with a cross from Diogo Dalot to score an overhead kick from 12 yards away into the corner of the net. Despite being upside down, Garnacho manages to execute a flawless finish that secures their 1-0 lead. This is an incredible achievement for Garnacho, as this was one of his season goals. It's safe to say that he can retire now with pride.

In the 33rd minute, United managed to hold on despite being under pressure. Calvert-Lewin took a shot that was saved by Onana after a great dive. Kobbie Mainoo made an impressive effort to retrieve the ball and clear it just as McNeil was about to score. Everton seemed to be improving and it was a near miss for them to level the score at 1-1.

In the 52nd minute, the VAR was consulted to possibly award a penalty. Young was slow in tackling Martial and it appears that a penalty should be given for this. Initially, Martial received a yellow card for pretending to fall, but upon reviewing the footage, it is evident that there was actual contact. Therefore, it seems that a penalty should be awarded, and Martial's yellow card will be revoked.

At the 56th minute, United scored a goal thanks to Rashford! He scored perfectly with a penalty kick that went high to Pickford's right and he had no chance of stopping it. It was a great finish and this now brings United's lead to 2-0.

In the 57th minute of the game, there was a phenomenal save made by Onana, the goalkeeper for United. He made a remarkable dive to block Idrissa Gueye's strong shot and managed to push the ball over the bar. The speed at which the ball was moving was quite impressive, but Onana was able to react swiftly and stop the shot from turning into a goal.

In the 75th minute of the match, United managed to score a goal! Martial was the one who made it happen, and it was truly a fantastic moment for the team. The ball was passed to him by Fernandes, and from there, he skillfully lifted it over Pickford. This goal was the nail in the coffin for the other team because it meant that United was now leading 3-0. Overall, this was a truly delightful moment for both the team and their fans.

In the 79th minute, Everton came very close to scoring a goal in response. Vitalii Mykolenko hit the ball hard against the bar, and the goalkeeper Onana couldn't stop it. Luckily for the opposition team, the ball went out of play and there was no goal. This great attempt was made possible by the impressive attacking moves from Arnaut Danjuma. Everton is probably feeling frustrated because they have missed several chances to score today.
