Manchester United continued their push for Champions League qualification as a dominant 2-0 victory over Everton at Old Trafford moved them up to third in Premier League.
United registered a staggering 21 shots on goal in the first half but only found the net, with Scott McTominay lashing in his third goal of the season (36) to give the hosts a deserved half-time lead, before substitute Anthony Martial sealed the victory with his eighth career goal against Everton (71).
The victory, which moved United three points clear of fourth-place Newcastle, has some of its gloss taken off by an injury to in-form striker and top-scorer Marcus Rashford, who hobbled from the field with nine minutes to play with a suspected groin injury.
A first defeat in five Premier League games for Everton, who saw striker Ellis Simms waste a glorious first-half chance, leaves them outside the relegation zone on goal difference.
