Congratulations Everton on the three points from a Utd fan.

Over the past four Premier League games Beto has scored more goals (five) than Manchester United (two in their past four league games).

This is turning into everything that Ruben Amorim would have been dreading before kick-off - a hostile crowd, an opposition that is getting stuck in and a goal down.
How is the Portuguese going to turn it around? United are a mess.

Everton are causing some problems. United have to steady the ship.

Manchester United need to regroup. A second and Goodison Park will go wild.
Those in red manage to just about head clear Everton's latest set-piece.

Scrappy Dyche type of goal that is.

You can trace the start of United’s decade long downward spiral back to the sacking of David Moyes. How ironic!

That was not offside. United going down, you just can't make it up!

Ruben Amorim is pacing around his technical area, head down, muttering to himself as the cold winter sun glares against his forehead.

After a very long check, David Moyes was the first one celebrating the goal on the touchline, waving his arms in the air.
It was a few seconds later when it was announced inside the stadium that the goal has been given.

Well I thought we were going to have a cricket style snicko check then, but, in the end, the goal stands.
No offsides, no foul, no decent defending from Manchester United.

Image source, Getty ImagesI think Beto is onside. Initially, it comes back off a defender - it is poor defending. I don't know how United don't clear it.
Beto does the right thing, he knocks it into the ground and hits the target.
The finish is magic. It was easy to put that over the bar.
The defending from United, they had four opportunities to clear it.
Everton 1-0 Man Utd
It's given!

VAR are having a long look. Beto was onside when Abdoulaye Doucoure headed the ball in his direction. But, does another Everton player get a touch on the ball before it reaches Beto? And was Beto then in an offside position at that stage?

Another shambles of a goal to concede from a Manchester United perspective.
How many chances did they have to clear that ball?
"Going down, going down, going down," sing the Everton supporters in the direction of the United ones.
Beto (20 mins)
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United want this checked, but for now, Everton are a goal up!
It all comes from an Everton corner which United can't quite clear. A quick round of head tennis later and the ball drops for Beto who pokes the ball past Andre Onana.
Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Penalty shout as Everton's James Garner goes down just inside the box, but referee Andy Madley waves play on and VAR backs him up.
Yep, nothing in that.
Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Not clicking for either team at the moment as Matthijs de Ligt misplaces a pass and it goes out for a throw.
De Ligt is another player squinting in the sun.
Back to the action and United regain possession as Patrick Dorgu hits a cross too close to the recovered Jordan Pickford.

Everton are camped deep inside the United half and are looking to force a mistake. Ruben Amorim's side are bereft of confidence so any loose pass from his side will give the Toffees a free sight at goal.

We're having more fun
We're having more fuuuuuuun
We are the Toffees, we're having more fun

I have a feeling that the Toffees are going to get a good result here. David Moyes has got them playing with belief and unlike United, they all seem to get on and have fun which as been lacking in the United squad for a long time.
