  • Erik ten Hag reacts

    Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag praised his players' resilience after coming from behind to beat Everton.

    Ten Hag told BT Sport: "Quickly 1-0 down. But the reaction of team is good. They stayed composed. First 35 mins was quite impressive. Especially first half, we were pressing well. It was difficult for Everton.

    “Casemiro will anticipate quickly [after a mistake]. He grew into the game. Good performance.

    “Cristiano making the winning goal, clear. It’s difficult here. Seven games unbeaten, difficult to score against them. We scored two, maybe three! So that’s good”

  • Bruno Fernanes reacts

    Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes explained why it is important for Erik ten Hag's men to show togetherness after a rough period.

    Fernandes told BT Sport: "We know when they have a corner sometimes it seems like a goal for them.

    "They are dangerous here especially with their supporters. We defended really well. Great block from Marcus at the end.”

    “We didn’t have a terrible start but we conceded a goal from nothing, anyway, three big points for us.

    “We want to show this spirit, this togetherness. It’s really important we carry this on”

  • FT: Everton 1-2 Man Utd

    Manchester Untied came from behind to beat Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park.

    The Toffees opened the scoring after just five minutes when Amadou Onana dispossessed Casemiro in midfield and Demarai Gray passed to Alex Iwobi who netted a stunning long-range shot.

    United, though, equalised just 10 minutes later when Antony picked up a wonderful through ball by Anthony Martial and beat Jordan Pickford with a clinical shot.

    The Red Devils lost Martial to a knock and Cristiano Ronaldo took his place after 28 minutes.

    Ronaldo then scored his 700th career club call just a minute before half-time when he picked up a stunning through ball by Casemiro down the left.

    United had a goal disallowed during both halves, first Bruno Fernandes' shot was overruled because Ronaldo was offside and then Marcus Rashford was caught handling the ball by VAR before he scored
