Manchester United secured a 1-0 victory against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday, thanks to a second-half goal from Benjamin Sesco. This win keeps caretaker manager Michael Carrick unbeaten as United continues its push for a top position in the Premier League, now standing at 48 points.
The match was characterized by a physical contest, with both teams achieving only 16 touches inside the opponent’s 18-yard box. Everton struggled offensively and now sits 9th with 37 points, just three points from both 7th and 14th places. Despite the raucous home crowd, Everton failed to convert several opportunities, and United’s tactically strong counterattack led to Sesco’s decisive goal following a setup by Brian Mbeumo.
United showed resilience defensively, dealing with 10 corner kicks, and displayed improved form under Carrick, raising hopes for UEFA Champions League qualification. Next up, Everton will face Newcastle, while United hosts Crystal Palace.
