Everton FC Vs Manchester United

During the past season, the Everton FC has had great success in the English Premier League. They have been able to win the FA Cup, defeat Manchester United and also make some impressive performances in the Champions League. The team has a great talent, a very strong defense and some good goals. However, there is still room for improvement. This is why the team has made a lot of changes in their tactics and playing style.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Despite being sacked by Manchester United this week, Cristiano Ronaldo has only missed out on starting one Premier League game this season. He is currently on a two-match winning streak, having not been involved in a defeat since mid-August. But he is yet to score a goal against Everton.

Having made a brief appearance in the warm-up, Anthony Martial was withdrawn with an injury. The Frenchman had been struggling with a hip injury. He may have to face another injury spell in the coming weeks.

In the end, Everton’s chances of rescuing the match went unrewarded. They pressed hard in cold conditions and created few clear opportunities. Nevertheless, the team looked solid when they won the ball.

Amadou Onana was responsible for Everton’s first goal, as he drew a foul on Casemiro. Alex Iwobi finished the opener. The resulting free-kick was dangerous. But Manchester United’s David De Gea saved well.

Total match cards

Taking on Manchester United at Goodison Park, Everton are looking to build on their recent victories. After beating Southampton a couple of days ago, they are aiming to win three games in a row.

The United players had been in UEFA Europa League action in Cyprus on Thursday. They won 3-2 against Omonia Nicosia.

Everton are one of the lowest scoring teams in the league. They have not scored more than one goal in the last seven matches. This will be a difficult game for the Toffees.

First half and second half card stats

Despite the home side’s late comeback, the two sides were tied on goals after the half-hour mark. It was the first time this season that Everton had conceded more than once in a match, and Manchester United had scored the first goal in five consecutive matches.

After the break, Everton looked to have gotten their act together. However, a series of hopeful crosses by Everton forced the ball wide. In the end, the game ended in a 2-1 win for Manchester United.

In the first half, Everton were largely unchanged from their previous lineup. They had won seven of their eight matches. Their first goal came from Alex Iwobi, who scored the first goal in five minutes. In the second, Anthony Martial picked up through ball by Antony, who set up his goal.

After the break, Everton pushed for a second goal. They created two chances, and a third chance went astray.
