That’s all from me. Congratulations to Everton for a magnificent win with a brilliant goal that was completely overshadowed by the most bizarre red cards. I have absolutely no idea where the Toffees, or Manchester United, will finish come the end of the season.

Thanks for reading, and for your emails. Until next time!

It is a brutally honest post-match interview from Ruben Amorim, although the Manchester United manager doesn’t appear to take responsibility for the defeat:

I’m really frustrated. We had a lot of crosses, chances with second balls, but the quality and the decision making was not there. We didn’t control transitions, even when they had 10 men. The understanding of the situations was not there. And then the quality was [poor] when we got to their box.

This performance surprised me. Especially in our home. Especially with what happened with the other clubs this weekend. This is more than a missed opportunity. We need to play the game in a different way. We dropped our level.

We didn’t play as a team. We were going with the flow of the game.
