United’s only penalties so far this season have come at home to Nottingham Forest and away to FC Copenhagen, with both converted by regular taker Bruno Fernandes, so there was some surprise around Goodison Park when the Portuguese handed the ball to Marcus Rashford to step up this time around. But Rashford converted at a critical time in the game, doubling our lead, and establishing a healthy advantage. It gets our no.10 back on the scoresheet and was a nice gesture from Fernandes, who presumably wanted to give his pal an opportunity to get back among the goals.
