Alejandro Garnacho has hurt Everton again even if it was in a far less spectacular way. Three-and-a-half months ago he scored an outrageous overhead kick at Goodison Park. Now the gifted Manchester United teenager with magic in his feet has won two penalties to inspire his team to a 2-0 victory over Everton at Old Trafford.
Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho celebrates after his team was awarded a penalty during an English Premier League soccer match between Manchester United and Everton at the Old Trafford stadium in Manchester, England, Saturday, March 9, 2024.
Garnacho changed that, firstly flicking the ball to the side of James Tarkowski and falling under the defender’s tackle before Bruno Fernandes converted the penalty in the 12th minute. Then Garnacho’s surging drive into the area ended with him upended by Ben Godfrey, with Marcus Rashford taking the penalty duties from Fernandes and finding the corner with his attempt in the 36th.
United stayed in sixth place but at least trimmed the gap to fourth-place Aston Villa to eight points and fifth-place Tottenham to three points. There’s a chance five Premier League teams — rather than four — will enter the Champions League for next season, though that depends on the overall performance of English clubs in European competitions in the remainder of this campaign.
