Alejandro Garnacho idolises Cristiano Ronaldo and he imitated his hero by scoring an unstoppable bicycle kick to lead Manchester United to a stonking 3-0 win at Everton.
The home fans were fired up by the 10-point deduction from the Premier League but Garnacho’s outrageous strike, which also had shades of Wayne Rooney’s 2011 goal against Manchester City as well as Ronaldo’s 2018 scissor kick against Juventus, tamed the beast.
United still had to withstand waves of Everton pressure but they ended up leaving with their biggest victory of the season in the league thanks to a penalty from Marcus Rashford – his first goal in almost three months – and a customary Anthony Martial strike against Everton.
Goalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (7/10):
Made three saves from Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the first half alone and a fine tip over the bar from Idrissa Gueye. Looking much more impressive lately after his shaky start.
Diogo Dalot (7/10):
Delivered the cross for Garnacho. Looked daring without being erratic.
Victor Lindelof (6/10):
Looked like United’s weak link in defence and targeted by Everton but came out unscathed.
Harry Maguire (8/10):
A commanding performance and the latest confirmation that he is back to his best.
Luke Shaw (8/10):
A superb return after three months out. His experience and class shone through.
