Everton paid for conceding two first-half penalties at Old Trafford as Manchester United bounced back to winning ways to keep their Champions League hopes for next season alive with a 2-0 victory on Saturday.
Everton’s English striker #09 Dominic Calvert-Lewin has this header saved during the English Premier League football match between Manchester United and Everton at Old Trafford in Manchester, north west England, on March 9, 2024.
Back-to-back defeats to Fulham and Manchester City had dented a charge from Erik ten Hag’s men towards the top four. James Tarkowski was the first Everton defender lured into a mistimed challenge on 10 minutes and Fernandes rolled home his eighth goal of the season.A combination of Amadou Onana and Ben Godfrey should have opened the scoring just three minutes in.And even when the visitors did hit the target, Andre Onana produced a flying save to deny James Garner.Garnacho danced through a series of challenges on the edge of the box before he was chopped down by Godfrey.
Garnacho was also wasteful with a series of chances to add a goal to his involvement in the two penalties.For the 16th time in 28 league games this season, United gave up 16 or more shots on their goal.And they nearly conceded a third penalty in stoppage time when Rashford was wiped out by Jarrad Branthwaite, but the offside flag came to Everton’s rescue.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
