Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford scored first-half penalties as Manchester United bounced back from defeat to Manchester City with a 2-0 win over struggling Everton at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Alejandro Garnacho won both spot-kicks with Fernandes coolly converting the first of them before handing the second to Rashford, allowing the winger to find the net for a second successive game after his long-range stunner in last weekend’s derby.<\/p>\n
Manchester United’s performance was sloppy at times but Everton’s wastefulness in front of goal ensured it was a comfortable victory for Erik ten Hag’s side, putting them within three points of fifth-placed Tottenham, who have two games in hand.<\/p>\n
Sean Dyche’s side finished the game with 23 shots to Manchester United’s 15 – the most by an away side at Old Trafford all season – but once again demonstrated a glaring lack of cutting edge in front of goal as their Premier League winless run stretched to 11 games – equalling a club record set in 1994.<\/p>\n
The Toffees remain 16th, five points above the drop zone, but another defeat gives their relegation rivals an opportunity to reduce that gap.<\/p>\n
