Everton earned a huge boost in their relegation battle this season with a 1-0 win against Manchester United at Goodison Park. Young English winger Anthony Gordon scored the only goal of the game, which helped the home team earn three extremely valuable points in their battle to stay up in the Premier League.

Manchester United, on the other hand, end the matchday in seventh position. They are level on points with West Ham United, with both teams on 51 points. As a result, their battle to secure Champions League football next season is becoming an increasingly difficult one.

Frank Lampard has now won more Premier League games against Man Utd as Everton manager (1) than he did during his time in charge of Chelsea.

Everton pick up incredible win against Manchester United

Going against their run of form, the Toffees have picked up a win after two consecutive losses against West Ham United and Burnley.

Anthony Gordon was the hero of the game for the home side. The youngster has scored four goals this season for Everton, and is proving to be an exciting young talent. If he can continue putting in performances like today, he might be one to watch for the future.

Manchester United’s woes continue to pile up, with the side looking lost in the final third despite the presence of Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford on the pitch. The United academy graduate earned a start against Everton, and was quite threatening on the pitch. But, he lacked the finishing touch and was unable to help his side out by scoring.
