Man Utd v Everton

  • Match odds:

Manchester United. I still can’t work them out.

Just when I was ready to dismiss their title aspirations after poor results against Sheffield United and Arsenal, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side put in a performance of immense ruthlessness and attacking quality.

United’s 9-0 win - equalling the Premier League record for highest winning margin and most goals scored by one team in a game - can’t simply be put down to good fortune alone.

You can argue that Jan Bednarek’s foul on Anthony Martial wasn’t a foul, red card and/or penalty, but United were already 6-0 up at this stage. True, United won’t see an opposition player sent off inside the first two minutes in every match they play this season, but you can only beat the team, and circumstances, in front of you.

For the first time since their 5-0 win over RB Leipzig in the Champions League earlier this campaign, Manchester United hit top gear.
