With a 2-0 victory over Everton, Manchester United maintained their slim hopes of being among the top four teams in the Premier League, while Arsenal readied themselves for their opportunity to take first place later on Saturday. At Old Trafford, penalties in the first half from United players Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford clinched the victory. In the hunt to get to the Champions League the following season, Erik ten Hag’s club is now eight points behind fourth-place Aston Villa and three behind fifth-place Tottenham. Everton’s winless league streak has now reached 11 games, and they are currently four points above the relegation zone. United’s hopes of finishing in the top four had taken a serious hit after consecutive losses to Fulham and Manchester City. Alejandro Garnacha’s fast feet twice resulted in spot-kicks, making him the difference between the two teams. Jordan Pickford was powerless to stop Rashford from scoring his fifth goal in nine league games after Fernandes handed off the penalty kick duties to him. Social
