Everton v Manchester United player ratings: Onana 7, Gordon 4; Ronaldo and Casemiro 8

United bounce back from derby mauling with 2-1 victory at Goodison Park as Ronaldo scores 700th goal

• 

  EVERTON PLAYER RATINGS: Jordan Pickford – 6. Will be annoyed that, having done well to reach Antony’s shot, he was unable to prevent it going in. Bailed out Gueye with a smart stop to deny Eriksen, then improvised to prod the ball away from Martial, but had no chance with Ronaldo’s winner. Finished the game as a makeshift attacker. AFP

• 

  Seamus Coleman – 6. Spent the majority of the night up against Rashford and stuck tight to his man, despite the athletic mismatch. His safety-first approach in possession appeared to frustrate the home support, but made a vital clearance to deny Ronaldo a second-half tap-in. AFP

• 

  Conor Coady – 6. Blocked well from Eriksen’s eighth-minute shot. Faced a bigger challenge when Ronaldo replaced the half-fit Martial and had no answer to the Portuguese’s pace for United’s second of the evening. Suffered a bloodied nose for his troubles. Getty

• 

  James Tarkowski – 6. Made a brave block from Dalot after the Portuguese had burst into the Everton area. Increasingly sought to start attacks as the game wore on with long-range passes, but with mixed results. Given a VAR reprieve for Rashford’s disallowed effort after diving in. Reuters

• 

  Vitaliy Mykolenko – 5. Kept on his toes by Antony during a busy first period. Landed awkwardly after an aerial challenge with the Brazilian but played on. Had a far quieter second half as the majority of the play took place on the opposite flank. Getty

• 

  Alex Iwobi – 6. Broke the deadlock with a fine curling effort. Pressed well from the front and lent support all over the field, but was crucially caught in possession by Casemiro for Ronaldo’s landmark goal. Operated as an auxiliary right-back as Everton committed numbers forward in the later stages. AFP

• 

  Idrissa Gueye – 5. A peripheral start manifested in surrendering possession for Antony’s leveller, then almost cost his side a second by passing straight to Eriksen. Sharpened up thereafter, but was always chasing after his slopping opening. PA

• 

  Amadou Onana – 7. Hassled Casemiro into surrendering possession for Iwobi’s opener. Picked up a booking for bringing down Antony, having gifted the Brazilian possession, but was largely very tidy and troublesome to United. Headed over a half-chance 20 minutes from time and a better opening in the last minute. EPA

• 

  Demarai Gray – 5. Took an early knock from Casemiro but quickly recovered to assist Iwobi’s opener. Switched flanks with Gordon for the latter stages of the first half. Got himself into some decent positions as Everton pressed to level, but too often was unable to pick out a teammate. Getty

• 

  Neal Maupay – 4. Chasing shadows throughout the game as United bossed possession and largely reduced Everton to long punts. Given little change by Lisandro Martinez and was latterly replaced by Rondon as Frank Lampard looked for a less subtle route of attack. Reuters

• 

  Anthony Gordon – 4. Looked too keyed-up throughout. Suffered an early rush of blood and overhit his first cross, then, perhaps frustrated by his limited involvement, attempted to muscle his way into the game and picked up a yellow for an overzealous challenge on Fernandes. Getty

• 

  SUBS: Dwight McNeil (Gordon 67’) – 5. Introduced to add the attacking thrust Gordon failed to provide, but was equally unable to make inroad into United’s left-hand side. PA

• 

  James Garner (Coleman 75’) – N/A. Given 15 minutes against his former side and came closer than anyone to forcing an equaliser when his curling effort was superbly tipped away from the top corner by De Gea. Reuters

• 

  Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Gueye 76’) – N/A. Came on for his first outing of the season and met a rapturous reception, but he was let down by a misfiring supply line. Getty

• 

  Salomon Rondon (Maupay 84’) – N/A. Lampard’s last throw of the dice, but didn’t have enough time to impact and was unable to get on the end of a string of deliveries. Getty

• 

  MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYER RATINGS: David De Gea – 7. Unsighted for Iwobi’s curling fifth-minute shot. Read a dangerous Everton move well on 32. Didn’t have much to do, but a vital 91st-minute save as Everton pushed for an equaliser they didn’t deserve in a frantic end and a flurry of corners. Reuters

• 

  Diogo Dalot – 6. Fine run forward on eight before his shot was blocked. Lost the ball to give Everton a chance on 33. His pass towards Eriksen was picked up by Iwobi in an erratic first half for the Portuguese. Getty

• 

  Victor Lindelof – 7. 200th game for United. Happy to feed the ball into the wide triangles demanded by Ten Hag as United moved up to fifth after a win against a side six unbeaten. Helped that he had Casemiro in front. Reuters

• 

  Lisandro Martinez – 7. Strong against a side who’d not lost a league game since August. His manager always wants intensity. Never any shortage from the Argentine. Almost got on the end of an Eriksen free-kick on 63 and once again had more touches than any player on the pitch. AFP

• 

  Luke Shaw – 8. Back in the side after Malacia’s poor form and his own encouraging performances for England and against Omonia. Looked comfortable and made several key recoveries against Iwobi. Smart defending on corners. Encouraging. EPA

• 

  Casemiro – 8. First Premier League start after only 82 minutes in the league but caught on the ball and dispossessed in a move which led to Everton’s opener. Made a positive challenge a few minutes later as he settled down, but he should’ve scored a free header on 42. Set up Ronaldo for the second, a quick pass forward after winning the ball. Can defend. Brought balance, strength, experience, and an attacking threat. EPA

• 

  Christian Eriksen – 7. Best performance for a few weeks. Combined well with Rashford and comfortable in possession. Set pieces hurt Everton and he was involved in much of United’s attacking play. Swung a shot over on 73. Reuters

• 

  Antony – 8. Scored again, another excellent strike to equalise. Could run into gaps which were not there but always had a go – which Jadon Sancho wasn’t doing before getting dropped. Best player in first half, quieter in the second, but still worth his place. EPA

• 

  Bruno Fernandes – 7. Just one goal this season, but he was involved in one. Smashed by Gordon, who was booked for the fifth time this season, on 63. Reuters

• 

  Marcus Rashford – 8. Fast and effective on the left – in a tough battle with Colman too. Fine cross for Casemiro on 42. Thought he’d scored a third, but VAR said otherwise. Getty

• 

  Anthony Martial – 7. Excellent in Nicosia on Thursday, he was lively in the few minutes he played at Goodison, setting up Antony for United’s equaliser. Real shame he had to go off after 27 minutes. EPA

• 

  SUBS: Cristiano Ronaldo (Martial 27’) – 8. After a couple of bright runs, ran onto a ball to score his 700th club goal to help United to a fifth win in six league games. Won the ball to set up a 66th minute counter, which he was waiting to finish. Reuters

• 

  Scott McTominay (Eriksen 83’) – NA. Picked up his 5th yellow card within minutes, meaning he’ll be banned from playing against Newcastle next weekend. Getty

• 

  Raphael Varane (Antony 90’+2) – NA. Got his head to two Everton corners in a testing finish for United. United survived it though. Reuters

Cristiano Ronaldo stepped off the bench to earn Manchester United a 2-1 victory at Everton in the Premier League on Sunday, taking his career goal tally to 700 in the process.

Just as they did last weekend in their derby mauling at the hands of local rivals Manchester City, United found themselves behind early on at Goodison Park after Alex Iwobi curled a sublime strike into the net from 20 metres.

The visitors, however, responded much better this time around and soon levelled as big-money signing Antony slotted home, the Brazilian becoming the first United player to score in his first three Premier League appearances.

Substitute Ronaldo then entered the fray unexpectedly early after Anthony Martial picked up an injury and took only 14 minutes to score his first Premier League goal of the season, his 144th for United across two spells.

Marcus Rashford thought he had made doubly sure of a fifth win in six league games for the visitors late on but his effort was ruled out after a VAR review for handball against the England forward.

Everton never really looked like finding a late equaliser as United held on for a victory that moved them up to fifth on 15 points, nine adrift of leaders Arsenal, while Everton's first loss in seven league matches leaves them 12th on 10 points.
