Alejandro Garnacho Shines as Manchester United Secures Important Victory over Everton

If the two scorers of the match offered more than satisfactory performances – notably Bruno Fernandes, like a veritable metronome – the Mancunian hero of this 28th day of the Premier League is indeed Alejandro Garnacho. Indomitable in his right lane, the 19-year-old Argentinian constantly destabilized the Everton rearguard, taking advantage of his captain’s generous balls, as much as the spaces left by his opposite number, Vitaliy Mykolenko. But the main culprits remain captain James Tarkowski, caught behind a movement by the young striker, causing the first penalty, then Ben Godfrey, guilty of a late gesture, offering the second.

The Red Devils have thus carried out a necessary operation in their race for European places, but they nevertheless remain in 6th place (47 points) in the Premier League standings, a few lengths from Tottenham (50 points). Erik ten Hag and his players were, however, able to reassure themselves, before the thorny FA Cup quarter-final which awaits them, against Liverpool, on March 17. As for Everton, without success in the league for eleven games now, the time is beyond doubts, and the next match against Bournemouth, on March 30, will absolutely have to be won by the Mersey club, to hope to put end to its slow fall.
