Alex Iwobi’s early strike had been cancelled out by Antony’s equaliser before substitute Ronaldo was played in by Casemiro, and fired a low effort beyond Jordan Pickford. It was the 144th goal of his Manchester United career and 103rd in 233 Premier League appearances.
Manchester United’s fifth win in six matches takes them spot on 15 points, five clear of Everton in 12th.
Everton coach Frank Lampard said,”There were a lot of lessons today. There was a lack of edge to our game which is normally there. We were off it in the first half. I also think we can improve our calmness in possession. We’ll work on it and we’re developing.”
Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag said,”Every game, we want to collect the three points. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is, who are we playing, that is our aim, and we have to prepare for every game well. That is what we demand from the players; that they give every day, but especially of course on game days, their best.”
