Man Utd scored 3 goals from their first 3 shots on target. That's how the "Red Devils" defeated Everton away in round 13 of the Premier League in a match where coach Erik ten Hag was banned from the field.
The squad crunch forced Man Utd to field a patchwork squad. However, the visitors got off to a flying start with a goal in the third minute - a superb overhead kick from Alejandro Garnacho. This move reminded many fans of Wayne Rooney's goal in the Manchester derby many years ago.
That was the only mark of Man Utd's attack in the first half. After opening the score, the away team cowered and endured Everton's continuous attacks.

The home team created many opportunities when Man Utd's defense showed many loopholes. However, Everton's finishing was very poor in this match while Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana kept a firm grip, making many excellent saves.
The game did not change much after the break. Everton continued to press the pitch, although Man Utd defended better than in the first half. The home team had twice as many shots as their opponents. However, in terms of efficiency, Man Utd were completely superior.
VAR awarded Man Utd a penalty early in the second half when Anthony Martial - who had been poor for much of the match - was fouled in the box by former Red Devil Ashley Young. Marcus Rashford scored a decisive goal to double the visitors' lead.
Everton attacked relentlessly, putting Man Utd's goal on alert. However, while the home team's strikers continued to waste chances, Man Utd increased the score to 3-0. Martial - who played poorly for three quarters of the match - continued to make his mark on the visitors' goal. The French striker's delicate handling of the situation in a one-on-one situation helped Man Utd seal a 3-0 victory.
Result: Everton 0-3 Man Utd
Score
Man Utd: Garnacho (3'), Rashford (56), Martial (71')
