Anthony Gordon Scores As Everton Defeats Manchester United

Anthony Gordon bagged a goal for Everton as they defeat Manchester United 1-0 at Goodison Park.

Nigeria’s Alex Iwobi put up a fine performance as he was in action for 90 minutes in the keenly contested encounter.

David De Gea, who was powerless to prevent Everton’s opener, made a superb stop to deny them a second, acrobatically tipping a dipping Richarlison shot that had taken a nick off Maguire over the crossbar. At the other end, Vitaly Mykolenko made a crucial intervention to prevent a near-certain goal as Cristiano Ronaldo lurked ominously at the back post.

United belatedly registered their first shot on target of the second half nine minutes from time when Paul Pogba, introduced as a first-half sub for the injured Fred, tested Pickford with a low strike from range that was well held by the England ‘keeper. Moments later, Demarai Gray made a vital sliding block from a Wan-Bissaka volley as Everton stood firm.
