Everton 1-3 Man UTD: Bruno Fernandes helps reduce pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer


Manchester United picked up a much needed 3-1 at Everton on Saturday thanks to a brace from man of the match Bruno Fernandes.

It was actually Everton who took the lead though, thanks to Bernard's sweet strike from just outside the penalty area after around 20 minutes.


The Red Devils equalised soon after with a fine header from Fernandes, while he was also the main culprit in their second, as he lifted the ball into the area, using Marcus Rashford as a decoy as Jordan Pickford was left powerless to prevent it finding the back of the net.

A scrappy second half ensued, but the United backline held unusually firm, with Harry Maguire putting in one of his best performances this season to nod everything away from David de Gea's goal.

And their persistence paid off as Edinson Cavani grabbed his first goal for the club in injury time to secure all three points.

Victory at Goodison Park will certainly ease the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, at least for now.
