Manchester United duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro were praised for their quality by Everton winger Andros Townsend following the two sides' meeting on Sunday night.

Erik ten Hag's men came from behind to beat the Toffees at Goodison Park, with Antony and Ronaldo both getting on the scoresheet for the away side.

Former Real Madrid duo Ronaldo and Casemiro combined for the Portugal international's winning goal on the stroke of half-time, with the Brazilian midfielder winning possession before delivering an inch-perfect pass to his teammate.

Antony's first-half strike came after Alex Iwobi was caught in possession after trying to take on Casemiro. The former Arsenal man - who gave Frank Lampard's side the lead in the match - was visibly frustrated after being dispossessed, with his teammate Townsend admitting that the Nigerian was 'devastated'.
