Following their 2-0 Premier League loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford, Everton is in “big trouble.”
Journalist Simon Stone of BBC Sport claims that the Toffees finished second on Saturday, March 9.
Due to the loss, which included penalties from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, the Goodison Park team is now 16th in the standings.
For BBC Sport on March 9, Stone wrote, “At one point substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin rose to meet a header on the edge of the six-yard box, only to send it straight back across goal.”
Lewis Dobbin responded by attempting to score as well, but he was unable to do so and the ball returned to its original position. Andre Onana was not used in either scenario.
“It was comic book stuff, but Everton is in serious trouble off the pitch, let alone on it. This is no laughing matter.”
After losing 2-0, Everton leaves Old Trafford empty-handed.
Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United hasn’t been flawless this season, so the Toffees had a chance to at least secure a point in this game.
However, the hosts played with professionalism to defeat Sean Dyche’s team, who missed numerous opportunities while playing on the road.
The travelling manager will be furious with his players’ lack of composure as well as the defensive tandem of James Tarkowski and Ben Godfrey for giving up penalties for fouls committed against Alejandro Garnacho.
On the plus side, Dyche will have plenty of time to work with his players on the training pitch as he attempts to improve team standards.
