THE Manchester United won 2-0 against Everton and returned to winning ways. The protagonist of this victory was Alejandro Garnazzoafter the Argentine won both penalties, with which Ten Haag’s team reached the three points.
The young winger is particularly important to the English team and is a key cog in the Dutch manager’s rotation. In today’s match he made history, after becoming the first United player to win two penalties in the same match.
An unprecedented event was the team’s decision to have two different players take the penalties in the same half. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring, setting another record, while Marcus Rashford doubled his team’s tally.
