Alejandro Garnacho’s staggering overhead kick set Manchester United on course for a comprehensive 3-0 away win on a day when hosts Everton protested against their Premier League points deduction.
Goodison Park was a cauldron as the infuriated Toffees returned to action for the first time since Sean Dyche’s side were docked 10 points for breaching financial rules.
The Premier League felt the full force of Everton fans’ ire before and during a match that went United’s way as goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial complemented Garnacho’s acrobatic stunner.

Ryan Mason has been handed the role of interim head coach at Tottenham until the end of the season following Jose Mourinho s dismissal.
Spurs sacked Mourinho on Monday six days before the EFL Cup final against Manchester City, with their Champions League qualification hopes hanging by a thread.

The first game for Mason will see seventh-placed Tottenham host Southampton in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Mason will be assisted by Chris Powell and Nigel Gibbs, with Ledley King continuing as a first-team assistant and Michel Vorm as his goalkeeping coach.

At least I did not put them off the job! said Arsene Wenger last week, as two of his old Arsenal stalwarts, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira, prepare to go head to head on Friday.
Vieira s Nice will visit Henry s Monaco in a Ligue 1 derby match that could go some way towards defining just how successful their first seasons at their respective clubs will prove to be.
Things have not gone too well for Henry, who only managed his second win since taking charge in mid-October on Tuesday against Amiens. They remain level on points with two sides still in the bottom three.
Vieira, who returned to his homeland after honing his skills with New York City, has put Nice in the European reckoning but has seen their form stumble with back-to-back goalless draws.

According to a recent report from Calciomercato, AC Milan are interested in attempting to re-sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a free transfer. It was recently confirmed that the popular forward will be leaving LA Galaxy at the end of his contract which is set to expire next month, with the most likely possibility being that he will return to Europe for the final few years of his career.
The deal would need to be given the green light by chief executive Ivan Gazidis, who has been at the heart of Milan’s attempts to build a squad capable of challenging in the top four once again in Serie A.
Zlatan has always been a controversial figure in Milan as a result of his career options, but it’s always been a place where, for the most part, he has been able to thrive. If he …
“I’m sure there will be news soon. My idea is to stay here, I hope that can be sealed very soon”.
As reported by Sport, these are the words of Jordi Alba who seems to be interested in signing a new contract with Barcelona. The 29 year old has been at the Nou Camp since back in 2012, when he made the switch over from Valencia. His current deal is set to expire in 2020, and there had been rumblings that he wanted out. However, in the wake of Barca’s recent 4-2 win over Sevilla, it appears as if he’s changed his mind.
A similar thing has happened with Ivan Rakitic, who has reportedly declared that he wants to stay with the Spanish champions too.
Alba has been a featured member of the Spanish national team since back in 2011, and he’s also been an ever p…
Luis Enrique believes Ronald Koeman s Dutch mentality is ideal for Barcelona and is convinced the club will soon start winning trophies again.
Koeman left his job as boss of the Netherlands to take over at Camp Nou following the sacking of Quique Setien, who paid the price for the 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Sporting director Eric Abidal soon followed, while superstar forward Lionel Messi is reportedly considering his future.
Spain boss Luis Enrique led Barca to nine major trophies in three seasons as coach, including a LaLiga, Copa del Rey and Champions League treble in the 2014-15 campaign.
He has backed Koeman, a legend as a player at Barca, to turn things around and says Barcelona will come out of the malaise.
According to , Rolando Aarons’s proposed move to Huddersfield Town from Newcastle United has fallen through. It has been reported that Huddersfield wanted to sign the 24-year-old on summer transfer deadline day and have been speaking to the Magpies for weeks.
Although there was hope that a transfer would happen before the 5pm deadline on Friday, the necessary paperwork was not submitted in time to the EFL, and Aarons remains a Newcastle player, according to the report. This will come as a disappointment to the 24-year-old, who could struggle to get playing time at Newcastle in the coming weeks and months.
Aarons has been on the books of Newcastle since 2012 and has made only a handful of appearances in the Premier League for the Magpies. The 24-year-old winger has bee…
Carlo Ancelotti snapped back at suggestions Karim Benzema is playing less for Real Madrid as a precautionary measure ahead of the Qatar 2022 World Cup with France.
The veteran forward has not played since a 3-0 win over Elche in LaLiga almost a fortnight ago, instead reduced to a spectator on the sidelines for Los Blancos with a hamstring problem.
With the World Cup set to start later this month, Benzema – who was omitted from Didier Deschamps title-winning squad at Russia 2018 – is hopeful of making the cut.
Speaking ahead of Madrid s Champions League clash with Celtic on Wednesday, Ancelotti shut down discussions the Ballon d Or winner has been absent in order to facilitate his ticket to Qatar.
Benzema hasn t played because he s picked up a couple …
According to , Anthony Martial could leave Manchester United in the summer of 2021. It has been reported that United as well as Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur are keeping an eye on Paulo Dybala’s situation at Juventus. The report has added that there is a growing possibility that Martial will leave the Red Devils at the end of the season.
Martial has been on the books of United since the summer of 2015 when he joined from AS Monaco. Much was expected of the France international when he arrived at Old Trafford, and although the 25-year-old has played well on occasions and has shown his versatility by playing out wide, he has not been very consistent.
According to , Martial has made six appearances in the Premier League and has scored two goals and provided one…
