It wasn’t all plain sailing after Pogba had given the Reds a half-time lead when he followed up his penalty, which was saved by Jordan Pickford, to score the rebound. In-form goalscorer Martial extended United’s lead in the second half when he scored his fourth Premier League goal in his last three outings. But United couldn’t stroll home as Everton, who’d won their last three league matches, forced their way back into the game from the spot when Gylfi Sigurdsson netted.
The Reds were the better side early on but arguably got a shade lucky on a couple of counts when taking the lead in the 27th minute.
