- Everton 1-3 Manchester United (1-2)
Ole Gunnar Solskjær arrived at Goodison Park with a knife to his throat and 15th place in the Premier League table ahead of the encounter with Everton, who in turn could take the league lead in the mighty league with a win over Manchester United.
Everton took the lead in the fateful Solskjær match, but Nordmøringen’s students fought back impressively and finally won the match 3-1 after two goals from Bruno Fernandes and a goal from rookie Edinson Cavani.
However, Solskjær was not very happy after the game. He then took the opportunity to reach out to the English Football Association (FA) after playing in Turkey on Wednesday night and getting the match early in the Premier League today.
– The layout is made for us to lose. I told you before that I wanted to talk about the time of the game. We got injured Luke Shaw, because we played in Turkey on Wednesday night and the game early here. Who is responsible for this? I’ve had enough. Just kidding, Solskjær whispered in the interview for the 3-1 win over Everton, where Shaw’s injury and tight schedule excited him.
The Manchester United manager also said that the association should install the club in Sunday’s game after playing the European Cup in the middle of the week. Next week there are kettledrums from the national team and no club games.
– We must understand how exhausting it is in this pandemic, and so we are set up this way.

However, the Norwegian was able to smile at what his players delivered today at Goodison Park.
Good news and warning from the legend.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand is clear that Solskjær needs more such wins in the future, but comes at the same time with a reassuring message:
– From what I heard, the club is not looking for a replacement for Ole. They are behind Ole and want their project to continue, Rio Ferdinand tells BT Sport.
– But if you keep losing as many games as you have this fall, the end is near. I hope it doesn’t happen, but we must see an answer, Ferdinand warned just before kick-off at Goodison Park.
Ferdinand definitely saw a positive response to Midtuka’s fashion with the 3-1 win against Everton today, after what has been a yo-yo season for the Solskjær team.
A strong start to the season with losses including 1-3 at home against Crystal Palace and 1-6 at home against Tottenham, was a strong rematch with a strong raw 2-1 away result against PSG, finalists of the Champions League, 5-0 win over Champions League semi-finalist Leipzig and 4-1 away to Newcastle in eleven days.
However, the positive comeback from Solskjær and Manchester United quickly turned into negativity and massive pressure again after 1-0 at home to Arsenal and a 1-2 loss to Turkey’s İstanbul Başakşehir last week.
Therefore, Solskjær is again dependent on a new recovery operation, as Nordmøringen has had a habit of delivering when the pressure has increased.
Today Manchester United struck again with the knife to the throat, with a 3-1 win over solid Everton.

Dream start for Everton
While Paul Pogba was benched early on, compatriot Anthony Martial returned to the eleven after losing the last three league games to suspension.
It was Martial who was the first great opportunity of the game at 16 minutes, but the shot went off the post.
Three minutes later it narrowed instead in the opposite direction. The strong Dominic Calvert-Lewin duel won a head duel and surprised the ball to Bernard. The winger entered the field and threw the ball into the goal from afar.
Thus, the pressure on Solskjær increased even further, but it wasn’t long before the guests fought back.
Counterattacked with double Fernandes
The successful signing of January’s Norwegian Bruno Fernandes took over responsibility again and scored the tie at Goodison Park.
Luke Shaw hit the post that the Portuguese headed perfectly from just over ten meters.
Thus, the teams were just as far away, but the Manchester guests did not give up.
Soon after, Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes were masterfully combined. The latter’s post appeared to be stunned in goal by Rashford, but replays showed that Fernandes’s post went straight for the goal.
Regardless: 2-1 at Manchester United and the game was reversed at halftime.
Cavani punctured the game
After a change of sides, the party calmed down somewhat measured in highlights. At the same time, opportunities came from time to time:
Harry Maguire came close to scoring after an hour of play in a situation where Jordan Pickford dropped the giant stopper, to no avail.
Soon after, it was Maguire who sealed Digne on his own 16 meters, but he was probably saved by the offside flag and also avoided penalties against him.
After 72 minutes, Rashford arrived alone with the goalkeeper, but Pickford stayed upright and stopped the attempt with his foot.
In time trial, Edinson Cavani replaced the last goal of the match and secured a 3-1, three-point victory.
