Joleon Lescott believes Everton's failure to utilise the 'quieter' Anthony Gordon was a key factor in Sunday's 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United.
The Toffees threw away an early lead at Goodison Park to put an end to their seven-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Alex Iwobi got them off to a great start, rifling a shot into David De Gea's top corner after just five minutes. But Idrissa Gueye's loose first touch just 10 minutes later allowed United to counter, with £84m summer signing Antony scoring his third goal in as many league appearances to level the score at 1-1.
And despite a spirited defensive performance, individual mistakes in possession allowed Erik Ten Hag's side to gather momentum, and when Iwobi lost out to Casemiro on half-way, the 30-year-old fed former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo to score his 700th club career goal and the eventual winner.
