United's work was done in the first half with the two penalties that they scored, but their performance since the restart has been pretty flat. They have only registered an xG of 0.54, hitting the target with two of their four shots. If Everton weren’t so clumsy in their box, the Red Devils would be playing in a much closer contest.

WIDE! How have Everton not scored? Mykolenko flashes a brilliant cross from the left over to Godfrey, who heads the ball back across the goal.

Nothing seems to be happening for Calvert-Lewin. He is working hard up front and puts pressure on Varane, but his back to Onana just about has enough weight on it for the goalkeeper to get there and clear. The Toffees get it back through McNeil. However, his cross goes straight to the goalkeeper.

Manchester United vs Everton
13:48
OVER! Garnacho goes close! Fernandes spins in possession in the heart of Everton's half and rolls a pass out to Garnacho, who drives into the box. He is put under pressure by Mykolenko and lifts his right-footed strike over the bar.
Manchester United vs Everton
13:44
Doucoure is Everton’s top scorer in the Premier League with six goals this season, though he hasn’t scored since December. Since Dyche became manager of the club last February, the Toffees have won 36 per cent of their league games when Doucoure starts (13/36), winning none of their nine when he doesn’t (drawing three and losing six).
Manchester United vs Everton
14:20
Attempt missed. Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United) right footed shot from the right side of the box is just a bit too high. Assisted by Bruno Fernandes.

Dwight McNeil (Everton) wins a free kick on the left wing.
Manchester United vs Everton
13:40
United have won 180 and lost none of the 185 previous occasions they have been two or more goals ahead at half-time in the Premier League (drawing five). Meanwhile, away from home, Everton have lost 54 and won none of the 57 previous times they have been two or more goals behind at the break in the competition (drawing three). Not an encouraging statistic if you’re an Everton fan or Dyche. The Toffees have had most of the possession since the restart and are trying to build an attack.
Manchester United vs Everton
14:20
Offside, Manchester United. Alejandro Garnacho is caught offside.
Manchester United vs Everton
13:36
Everton get the ball rolling again. They need an early goal in the second half if they want to get back into the contest. The Toffees are on their way to an 11th consecutive game without a win.

Second Half begins Manchester United 2, Everton 0.
Manchester United vs Everton
13:31
It looks like United deserve their lead by a distance at half-time after creating an xG of 2.03, but the statistics have been heavily inflated by the two penalties. Despite not getting an assist to his name, Garnacho has been their best player, constantly driving at the Everton defence and winning two penalties. As for Everton, it's more of the same. Dyche was getting frustrated in the dugout, and there should be no surprise with his side failing to convert their opportunities again. The away side have registered an xG of 1.07 from their 11 shots but have only hit the target twice. They have had 29 final third entries and 17 touches inside the opposition box but nothing to show for it.
Manchester United vs Everton
13:26
United scored two penalties in the first half to lead a wasteful Everton 2-0 heading into half-time at Old Trafford. Garnacho was the Red Devils' star, winning both spot-kicks to give the hosts a comfortable advantage. He was first tripped by Tarkowski, allowing captain Fernandes to curl his spot-kick into the bottom-right corner. Harrison and Garner tested Onana, but it was Ten Hag's men that scored again. Garnacho was tricky on the edge of the box, driving across from right to left before being bundled to the floor by Godfrey. Rashford took the penalty this time, stuttering with his run towards the ball before directing his shot into the bottom-left corner.
Manchester United vs Everton
13:22
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 EVERTON
Manchester United vs Everton
13:22
Garnacho has been United's best player. He breaks forward on the right and drives into the box, faking it shoot to put Branthwaite on the floor before the centre-back gets across to recover. He had options in the middle, but nobody was complaining after his first-half performance.
Manchester United vs Everton
14:20

PENALTY SHOUT! United want a third penalty. Garnacho rushes down the right and gets to the byline before cutting the ball back across the box. Mykolenko slides to the floor, and the ball hits his supporting hand, but no penalty is given. Ten Hag is furious.
Manchester United vs Everton
14:20
Corner, Manchester United. Conceded by Vitalii Mykolenko.
Manchester United vs Everton
13:16
Godfrey is well up the pitch, so when Everton concede possession, it gives Fernandes the chance to dash into the space left behind by the right-back. He gets into the box and attempts to curl a pass into the middle with the outside of his foot, but the ball is blocked, and Pickford comes out to claim it.
Manchester United vs Everton
13:15
Fernandes has possession in United's box, but he sends a pass straight to McNeil. The ball then rolls to Godfrey, who drives a low shot from the edge towards the bottom-left corner, but it deflects off Evans and goes behind.

Foul by Diogo Dalot (Manchester United).
Manchester United vs Everton

Everton have the 10th-highest xG in the Premier League this season (42.5), but the third-lowest goal total (29), giving them the biggest difference between expected goals and goals scored in the competition this term (13.5). The Toffees have created an xG of 0.9 against United, but have only hit the target twice with their nine shot.
