Portugal super star Cristiano Ronaldo netted his first goal of the season to hand Manchester United a well-deserved 3 points against Everton tonight at Goodison Park.
Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi quickly put the Toffees ahead inside 5 minutes as he surprised David De Gea on a long-range strike.
However, the home side lost focus following the opener with Senegal international Idrissa Gana Gueye losing easily a ball in the middle which Man United recovered.

Anthony Martial passed it to Antony forward and the later drove the ball pass Jordan Pickford to bring the Red Devils level 10 minutes later.
Erik ten Hag was forced to make a substitution in the 29th minute as Anthony Martial picked up an injury and had no choice but to leave his teammate.
Then the Dutch manager decided to bring on Cristiano Ronaldo. And it took only 14 minutes to the five-time ballon d’or winner to net the winner for United from a Casemiro assist.
The former Real Madrid man goal helped Man United secure a 1-2 away win and to go 5th on Premier League table ahead of Newcastle.
