Manchester United’s biggest win of the season came at Goodison Park on Sunday as they won 3-0 against Everton to move into the top six in the Premier League. The highlight was an astonishing goal from Alejandro Garnacho, who stunned the home support with an early overhead kick from which the Toffees never recovered. Despite the home side being on top for spells, United were ruthless in finishing.
Alejandro Garnacho scored a glorious goal of the season contender as Manchester United moved into the top six in the Premier League with a clinical 3-0 win against an energised but blunt Everton side at Goodison Park.
The young Argentina winger celebrated his first goal of the season inside three minutes with an all-time classic in the English top flight as he met Diogo Dalot’s cross with his back to goal to send a breathtaking overhead kick spinning beyond England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford from around 14 yards out.
Unhappy Everton fans were protesting the club’s 10-point penalty by an independent commission for breaching financial rules earlier in the week, but were silenced by the audacious brilliance of Garnacho’s magical finish.
t is difficult to imagine a more acrobatic effort since the modern era inception of the Premier League in 1992, but it probably best provided images of Wayne Rooney’s iconic bicycle kick for United against Manchester City in 2011.
Sean Dyche’s Everton certainly had the best moments of the first half with the excellent Kobbie Mainoo forced to clear off his line to deny Dwight McNeil a certain equaliser on his first Premier League start for United.
The home side paid dearly for their profligacy as Marcus Rashford slammed a penalty kick into the net on 56 minutes after Ashley Young had felled Anthony Martial via a VAR review before Martial chipped the match-clinching third over Pickford on 75 minutes from a Bruno Fernandes pass.
It is United’s biggest win of the season as they move above Newcastle by a point into sixth, while relegation-haunted Everton remain second bottom of the standings on four points.
