It was a surprising aim, maybe the most effective of the season, and appeared to justify Ten Hag’s optimism. Regardless of their travails in Europe, they got here into the sport as one of many kind groups within the Premier League. “We’ve seen a turning level,” he had claimed.

Everton, for his or her half, began sluggishly given the environment however that modified after they had a flurry of excellent alternatives half an hour into the sport. United had been lucky to resist the stress with their benefit intact. Andre Onana saved them.
