Twitter explodes as Manchester United record comeback victory against Everton

Manchester United came from behind to secure a much-needed victory

Everton hosted Manchester United at Goodison Park in the Premier League and looked to inflict more misery on the Red Devils, who arrived in Merseyside on the back of successive defeats against Arsenal and Istanbul Basaksehir. In what was a captivating encounter, the Red Devils came from behind to record a 3-1 victory away from home.

Everton took the lead through Brazilian attacker Bernard, who scored a well-taken goal from the edge of the penalty area after a well-worked move. Manchester United seemed to be heading towards a third straight defeat in all competitions, but those fears were quickly eased thanks to Portuguese star Bruno Fernandes.

Fernandes steals the show for Manchester United yet again

The talisman midfielder scored two quickfire goals for his side to turn the game on its head, as Manchester United breathed a huge sigh of relief and headed into the interval with a 2-1 lead.

Both sides carved out a handful of chances in the second half, with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford once again coming under the scanner for a horrible challenge. The Englishman, much like what was the case with his challenge against Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, went unpunished once again after a rash tackle.

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw picked up an injury in the second half and was replaced by Axel Tuanzebe. As Manchester United looked to see off the game, new signing Edinson Cavani sealed the deal for his side with a stoppage time goal after Fernandes unselfishly played him through on goal.

Here are the best Tweets from an eventful game at Goodison Park.

Bernard breaks the deadlock for Everton....

On the Pickford penalty shout. Premier League penalties are very rarely given for contact made after a shot and goalkeepers are afforded far more reckless contact than outfield defenders. Neither of those ideas are necessarily 'correct', but both are apparently true.

Bruno Fernandes is such an influential player. He’s United’s biggest factor in somewhat staying competitive. If it wasn’t for him, Ole’s drivers license to be at the wheel would’ve been taken away from him.
