Background: Straight after becoming England's first world champions with victory over Palmeiras in Japan, United resumed Premier League duties intent on keeping pace with table-topping Leeds United. Everton visited Old Trafford and took a shock early lead through Francis Jeffers, only for Denis Irwin’s penalty and an Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brace to take the Reds into half-time in the ascendancy. After the interval, our Norwegian striker pounced again...
The goal: Just seven minutes into the second period, Irwin picked up possession on the left flank and swung a wicked delivery towards the penalty spot.
