By db-admin

DBasia.news – After being humiliated by city rivals Manchester City in the Manchester Derby, the Red Devils rose in week 10 of the Premier League at Everton’s headquarters, Goodison Park.

Man United had fallen behind to Alex Iwobi’s goal (5′), but they remained calm in controlling the game until they were able to make a comeback from 2 goals from Antony (15′) and Cristiano Ronaldo (44′).

In the second half Everton increased the intensity of the game and pressed, but in the end Man United were able to secure the advantage and return to being close to the top four or Champions League zone.

Currently, of the eight Premier League matches that have been played, Man United are in fifth place with 15 points and 1 point adrift of Chelsea in fourth.

“We quickly fell behind 0-1, but the reaction from the team was good. Also, our goal (is) to defend well. They remained calm, the first 35 minutes were quite impressive,” said Erik ten Hag after the game ended.

“Seven games without losing, it was challenging to score against Everton and we scored 2 goals, maybe 3 (indicating Marcus Rashford’s goal which was disallowed by VAR),” he laughed.

With the victory from that situation, quoting from Opta Man United are now the first team to win 100 Premier League games after conceding the first goal. Under Man United there are Tottenham Hotspur (96 times), Liverpool (85 times), Chelsea (84 times) and Arsenal (79 times).

Another positive note is Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal. It was the 700th goal of his career for the club, 20 years and two days from his first goal in detail: Sporting Lisbon (5 goals), Man United period one (118 goals), Real Madrid (450 goals), Juventus (101 goals), and Man United period two (26 goals).

“It’s still difficult to count goals for Ronaldo because every week there seems to be a new record. He has worked hard for this goal,” said Ronaldo’s compatriot, Bruno Fernandes.

“Today he scored a goal and also won, this is the most important thing for him, that the team won. We want to show this spirit and togetherness, this is what made us (had) won four games in a row and also got this win.”
