Garnacho's Stunner Secures Everton Win
Anthony Gordon's First-Half Goal Proves Crucial
Manchester United returned from the international break with a bang, securing a crucial win against Everton. Alejandro Garnacho's spectacular opening goal proved to be the difference, dampening the spirits of the Everton faithful.
After a few early chances went begging, Garnacho produced a moment of magic in the 22nd minute. Collecting the ball on the left wing, the Argentine winger cut inside and unleashed a thunderous shot that flew into the top corner, leaving Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford with no chance.
Everton, who are battling against relegation, responded well and created a number of opportunities. However, Anthony Gordon put the game beyond their reach in the 37th minute. The young forward latched onto a pass from Demarai Gray and fired a low shot into the bottom corner.
In the second half, Everton continued to press forward but were unable to break down a resolute United defense. The visitors came close to extending their lead on a number of occasions, with Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes both going close.
Ultimately, United held on for a comfortable victory, which moves them up to fifth in the table. Everton, meanwhile, remain in the relegation zone, but their performance today will give them hope of staying up.
