Manchester United Ralf Rangnick manager believed Everton were “crumbling” before Anthony Gordon’s goal “changed the atmosphere”.
Ralf Rangnick said his players dominated the early exchanges at Goodison Park but left him disappointed through their failure to take advantage. And speaking after Everton held on to secure a crucial 1-0 win courtesy of Gordon's deflected strike, the interim Old Trafford boss accepted his team were unable to break down the Blues’ “wall”.
Rangnick said: “I think we had a good start in the game, the first 25 minutes we were in full control of the game. Saying that, I don’t think even in that first 25 minutes we took enough, and made enough advantage, out of that dominating period in the game, especially on our left side. I would have wished for us to create more overlaps and underlaps and exploit those open spaces more than we did.
