Manchester United battled back from a goal down to defeat Everton 2-1 as Cristiano Ronaldo achieved another moment of history.
After a humbling defeat against Manchester 6-3, last Sunday, It was far from the start Erik ten Hag will have wanted though, as he watched Alex Iwobi bend a brilliant effort beyond David de Gea inside five minutes.
It didn’t take long for the response though as Antony made it three goals in his first three Premier League games with a composed finish 10 minutes later.
Anthony Martial provided assist for that equalizer but had to be withdrawn inside half an hour after picking up an injury in the warm-up.
