Garnacho wins two first-half penalties as Man Utd beat Everton

Marcus Rashford netted his seventh Premier League goal of the season by converting a penalty in the first half.

Manchester United put an end to their losing streak of two matches by securing a win against Everton at Old Trafford, thanks to first-half penalties from Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes.

In an unusual match, Everton was the fifth team in six Premier League games to have a minimum of 20 shots against Erik ten Hag's team. However, the visitors suffered the consequences of their wastefulness and careless defense.

Captain James Tarkowski and teammate defender Ben Godfrey made reckless tackles on Alejandro Garnacho.

Fernandes was given the opportunity to take the initial penalty and successfully scored by shooting a well-aimed low ball towards the left corner of the England goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford.

Nonetheless, the captain of United transferred the duty to Rashford for the second time. It may have appeared to be an unnecessary gamble, but Rashford remained composed and confidently went on to deceive Pickford, earning himself his seventh goal this season.

United suffered losses against Fulham and Manchester City but this recent result brought them closer to the fifth position held by Tottenham, as they are only three points behind. However, Ange Postecoglou's squad has two games left to play.

Furthermore, following the European results on Thursday, it's uncertain whether the team in fifth place will be able to secure a spot in the upcoming Champions League season. This is a change from their previously perceived chances.

Everton's sputtering performance worsened with their latest defeat, extending their miserable streak of only accumulating five points in 11 games. To make matters worse, their upcoming game against Liverpool has been cancelled due to Liverpool's participation in the FA Cup. As a result, Sean Dyche's squad runs the risk of dropping to the relegation zone during the international break.

It doesn't matter how Manchester United fares this season, what stands out is how Garnacho is finally fulfilling his potential by delivering effective performances.

Even though he's only 19 years old, the Argentine player is quickly becoming the strongest offensive weapon for United.

On some occasions, he doesn't make the correct choice. One instance was during the last minute of the first half where he was unable to create an opportunity to shoot after receiving a through pass from Scott McTominay, despite having a clear path to the goal at the beginning.

His speed and stability disrupt the defenders' rhythm, and by enticing Tarkowski and Godfrey to make impulsive challenges in the first half, Garnacho made sure that the home team had a comfortable lead at halftime, instead of facing the possibility of falling behind.

After the halftime, United missed more opportunities, and Garnacho was one of the players responsible. He had a clear chance in the penalty area but ended up shooting over the bar.

The goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made an excellent save in the beginning of the match with just one hand to block a free-kick from Fernandes. Afterwards, he had to remain vigilant and focused to prevent Victor Lindelof from scoring a third goal by stopping a chaotic scrum in the six-yard box.

Everton is approaching the moment where they must defend themselves in a second hearing after receiving a six-point deduction due to financial breaches earlier this season.

They can only pray for some mercy to be shown due to the fact that two of the time periods under scrutiny were judged in the prior case. As based on this proof, it will be difficult for them to avoid punishment if they encounter a penalty of the same magnitude.

Their determination to pull themselves out of the bottom three after receiving the original penalty of a 10-point deduction has weakened.

Having only gained five points in eleven games midway through the season, Everton's form is concerning and it appears that they do not possess the necessary skills and abilities to instill confidence in their ability to improve significantly.

During the initial phase, they had more favorable opportunities compared to their opponents.

However, despite having great opportunities, Dwight McNeil, Jack Harrison, and Amadou Onana didn't show composure when attempting to score. This resulted in Onana having to make only one save, which was when he stopped a shot from James Garner, a former player of United, that was heading towards the far corner.

The luck of Everton did not get any better. During the game, there was a moment where a substitute named Dominic Calvert-Lewin jumped up to hit the ball with his head near the edge of the six-yard box, but sadly, the ball just went back in the direction it came from. Another player named Lewis Dobbin tried to score as well, but the ball ended up going back to where it started, without putting any pressure on Onana to make a save.

The situation that Everton is facing on and off the field is concerning, even though it may seem like something out of a comic book.
