Everton vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Ronaldo gets 700th club goal
United found a response following their humiliation at the hands of rivals City
Cristiano Ronaldo reached another landmark in his remarkable career when he scored his 700th club goal to put Manchester United in front against Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.
The veteran forward, who has found minutes hard to come by under new United coach Erik ten Hag, was summoned off the bench in the first half at Goodison Park for the injured Anthony Martial, putting his team 2-1 in front 14 minutes after coming on.
It took him to the landmark of 700 strikes, 20 years and two days after his first goal for Sporting Lisbon as a scrawny teenager. He is now 10 club goals ahead of his once great rival Lionel Messi.
It was Ronaldo’s 144th goal for United across two spells at the club, added to five for Sporting, 450 for Real Madrid and 101 for Juventus, and United went on to clinch three points.

32 mins: There’s a slight mood shift in the Emirates. Liverpool are growing into this and Klopp’s team stay calm as they play out of the Arsenal press. Ramsdale is then hurried into a clearance after coming under pressure from Nunez.

31 mins: And now a glimpse at goal for Salah. He skips inside and out of Tomiyasu but the shot from a tough position is scuffed wide of the near post.

29 mins: SAVE! Better again from Liverpool. Nunez makes the run again out to the right, this time a bit wider. He fires a cross into the middle where Diaz was threatening. Saliba cuts it out but Ramsdale is forced into the stop to keep it out.

27 mins: Incredible footwork from Jesus, who manages to skip and dance in the box to work a yard off space. The shot is scuffed, though, and straight at Alisson at the front post.

25 mins: SAVE! Liverpool threaten out of nowhere. Salah feeds Nunez down the inside right channel. The striker made the diagonal run off Saliba and gets the shot away quickly - but it’s straight at Ramsdale from the angle. Arsenal clear after Ramsdale beats it away.

23 mins: Hang on, though. Alexander-Arnold is staying on. It looked bad, but it doesn’t seem as if there’s been any injury to the ankle.

22 mins: This is a troubling sight for Liverpool fans, and potentially for England ahead of the World Cup. As Martinelli’s foot came down following the cross, it comes down on Alexander-Arnold’s ankle, which seems to bend awkwardly.

21 mins: Liverpool lose possession cheaply and suddenly Saka springs forward before playing it wide to Martinelli. The forward stands up Alexander-Arnold in the box, before the cross goes through the box.
Oh no... Alexander-Arnold has stayed down.

18 mins: Diaz turns White wonderfully on the halfway line but again Liverpool’s attack is slowed down. Diaz looked to switch the ball to Salah, while Nunez looked to run down the channel.
In contrast, Arsenal are flying every time they go forward.
