After a poor performance against Newcastle, Manchester United managed to defeat Brentford with a minimal score and get back on the winning track. And while the Red Devils won in that match but didn’t play particularly well today, the fans at Old Trafford witnessed almost a perfect match. Their team not only won but played excellently, not giving the visitors many chances to even shoot on target and creating many more scoring opportunities for themselves along the way: Manchester United – Everton 2-0.Man Utd have never lost a Premier League home game after leading at half-time:◎ 312 games◎ 289 wins◎ 23 draws◉ 0 defeatThe ridiculous record continues. 📈 pic.twitter.com/gaQYigO9wX— Squawka (@Squawka) April 8, 2023 Looking at the history, the Red Devils like to play against the Toffees. Man Utd have won 38 Premier League games against Everton, the second-highest amount of wins one team has against another in the competition (Man Utd 39 vs Tottenham), and today they level that number with games against Tottenham (39). Erik ten Hag won’t have much to complain to his players, apart from not being concentrated enough in the final third, as the score should have been higher. But to be totally fair, Everton keeper Jordan Pickford was the man of the game, as the England international had a number of key saves in today’s game. He is the main reason that United scored only two goals, even thou they had 11 shots on target (28 overall).Scott McTominay first goal of the season. pic.twitter.com/5mQEhLyX95— Baller 254 ⚡ (@baller2IV4) April 8, 2023 It started from the first minute and didn’t stop until the last. But United had trouble scoring that first goal. Many have tried, but couldn’t open the scoring account until Scott McTominay continued his excellent form from the Scottish international duty and delivered after an assistant from Jadon Sancho. United had a total of 21 shots on target, with 6 of them on target and a couple of those who went near the post. Everton keeper Jordan Pickford made a few fantastic saves, just like David De Gea in a 2-0 defeat against Newcastle. Visitors had only one chance, but it was a really good one while it was still 0-0, but Ellis Simms missed it.Anthony Martial’s goal against Everton. Assist from Rashfordpic.twitter.com/3pHmJ2saDi— SPI Football (@SPI_football) April 8, 2023 The Red Devils gave no signs for slowing up in the second half. The pressure was there, the chances were there, Pickford had to make acrobatics saves again and finally, another goal arrived. This time it was a substitute Anthony Martial, who scored from the simple tap-in, after Coleman made a blunder and allowed Rashford to take the ball and assist his teammate.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 30SaturdayMan.Utd. – Everton 2-0 (1-0)/McTominay 26, Martial 71/17:00: (1.65) Aston Villa (3.70) Nott.Forest (5.60)17:00: (3.70) Brentford (3.50) Newcastle (2.15)17:00: (2.90) Fulham (3.15) West Ham (2.75)17:00: (1.95) Leicester (3.60) Bournemouth (4.20)17:00: (2.65) Tottenham (3.25) Brighton (2.75)17:00: (3.90) Wolverhampton (3.40) Chelsea (2.00)19:30: (11.0) Southampton (6.00) Man.City (1.25)Sunday16:00: (2.15) Leeds (3.45) Crystal Palace (3.70)18:30: (2.80) Liverpool (3.50) Arsenal (2.60)***odds are subject to change***
