Everton 0-2 Manchester Utd

Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard's fine second-half strikes delivered a first win in five for Manchester United as they lifted the gloom of their festive period by beating Everton 2-0.

Jose Mourinho's men had signed off 2017 by exiting the Carabao Cup to Championship side Bristol City prior to three successive draws, yet a stirring second-half performance at Goodison Park on New Year's Day meant they got back on track.

Following a dull first 45, Martial, playing up front in the absence of injured duo Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, curled home a 57th-minute opener before Lingard smashed in his seventh goal in nine games nine minutes from time.

It was Wayne Rooney, United's all-time record scorer, who lost the ball in the build-up to Martial's strike and the 32-year-old endured an evening to forget having been booked and taken off as the hosts lost control of the contest in the second period.
