Your support makes all the difference.Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho scored with a magical overhead kick in the third minute to send the visitors on their way to a 3-0 victory over an Everton team already reeling in their first Premier League game after being docked 10 points.
With a strike that drew comparisons to Wayne Rooney’s famous goal for United in the 2011 Manchester derby, the 19-year-old Argentine leapt acrobatically to meet Diogo Dalot’s cross, firing the ball into the opposite corner past Jordan Pickford before celebrating with a Cristiano Ronaldo-style pirouette.
Erik ten Hag’s United team are sixth in the standings on 24 points after 13 games, while Everton, who were 14th before their points deduction for breaches of the league’s financial rules, are second-bottom on four points.
Marcus Rashford doubled United’s lead with a penalty in the 56th, awarded after VAR ruled Anthony Martial was tripped by Ashley Young. Captain Bruno Fernandes gave the ball to Rashford, who had only scored once this season and not since Sept. 3.
Martial sent hundreds of Everton fans heading to the Goodison Park exits in the 75th minute when he ran onto Fernandes’s pass and dinked it over Pickford for an easy goal.

41 mins: OVER! Another chance comes and goes for Everton as Calvert-Lewin heads over. It’s a superb cross from Young, right onto the head of the striker but he just can’t keep it down as it sails over the bar.
Another chance now as Calvert-Lewin surges forward again. He finds Doucoure who offloads it to Gueye but the midfielder slices his effort wide.

39 mins: Since that Garnacho goal, United have really struggled to impose themselves on this encounter. Since the goal, they have had just one shot, while Everton have had seven.

33 mins: WIDE! Three big chances in as many minutes for Everton but Doucoure fires wide on this occasion. Rashford is dispossessed on the right as McNeil’s low cross into the box finds the Everton midfielder on the edge of the box. It’s well-struck from Doucoure but it just drifts wide off the post.
The United goal is living a charmed life at the moment.

32 mins: OFF THE LINE! More pressure from Everton and it’s the youngster Mainoo who comes to United’s rescue. Onana makes the initial stop to deny Calvert-Lewin but the midfielder gets back superbly to clear McNeil’s follow-up effort over the line with the outside of his boot.

31 mins: CHANCE! Calvert-Lewin gets across the United defence from the corner and has a free header at the near post. The connection is good from the Everton striker but it’s straight down Onana’s through who is able to make a regulation save.

29 mins: That is unfortunate for Doucoure. Garnacho cleared away the ball after a foul was given but it’s the Everton midfielder who goes into the book instead for dissent having tried to raise the issue with the referee.

28 mins: It’s been a very scrappy, stop-start kind of match so far and I’m not too sure which side - if either - it suits. Garnacho has room to stretch his legs down the left wing but Branthwaite does well to get across and snuff out the danger.

25 mins: McTominay brings both Gueye and Young to the floor with a clumsy challenge and United must defend a free-kick. However, the delivery is poor and cleared away at the front post. The loose ball drops to Mykolenko but he fires wide from range.

22 mins: The goalscorer Garnacho draws a late challenge from Young who goes into the book for that one. A good opportunity to whip in a cross from this left side for United but it’s a poor delivery from Fernandes and cleared easily by Young.
