In an English Premier League clash between Everton and Manchester United, it was Manchester United who came out on top with a dominant 3-0 victory at Goodison Park in Liverpool.

The match started with an early goal in the third minute from Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho. He scored a stunning right-footed shot from the center of the box, assisted by Diogo Dalot's cross. The goal set the tone for Manchester United's strong performance.

Everton struggled to find their footing in the match and had difficulty converting their chances in the first half. Marcus Rashford extended Manchester United's lead in the 56th minute with a well-executed penalty kick, placing his shot in the top left corner of the net.

Anthony Martial sealed the victory for Manchester United in the 75th minute, calmly slotting the ball into the bottom right corner of the net from a through ball by Bruno Fernandes.

Throughout the match, Manchester United showcased their defensive solidity, with standout performances from Scott McTominay and new signing Kobbie Mainoo. Mainoo, in particular, impressed with his composure on the ball and his defensive work rate, making several blocks, tackles, and a crucial goal line clearance.

The referee's performance during the game was heavily criticized, with fans from both sides expressing their frustration towards missed yellow cards and inconsistent calls. Despite the controversial officiating, Manchester United remained in control of the game and secured the victory.

Social media reactions praised Mainoo's exceptional performance and considered him a future star in midfield for Manchester United. Onana, who started the season poorly, received praise for his improved performance in goal. Fans also celebrated the early goal from Garnacho, calling it a contender for Goal of the Year.

The win for Manchester United propelled them further up the Premier League table, now only six points off the top in what has been a challenging season. Everton, on the other hand, struggled to capitalize on their chances and fell short against their opponents.

With the victory, Manchester United maintained their unbeaten record under coach Erik ten Hag when he wears a specific hat, further adding to the uniqueness of the result.
