Manchester United’s top-four hopes are all but mathematically over after Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Everton.
Ralf Rangnick looked lost as the team’s aimless game plan was capitalised upon by the struggling Toffees who earned just their second win since February 12. The winning strike was delivered by 21-year-old Anthony Gordon, whose deflected shot found the net on 27 minutes.
The youngster has been one of the few positives Everton have produced this season. The goal was his fourth of the season in what has been a breakout campaign for the local lad. After full-time, former United midfielder Owen Hargreaves said United should be looking to Gordon as an example of creativity.
