All of Erik ten Hag's starting front three scored at Goodison Park as United produced arguably their best away performance under the Dutchman. They silenced a fervent home support inside three minutes when Garnacho watched Diogo Dalot's cross float over before producing an incredible bicycle kick.

United were put under pressure by the home side but Rashford doubled their lead from the spot on 56 minutes after Martial was fouled. The Frenchman then sealed all three points with a delicate dink over Jordan Pickford.
