Everton 1-3 Manchester United: Player Ratings as Bruno Fernandes stars at Goodison Park | Premier League 2020-21

Manchester United picked up a big win at Goodison Park on Saturday, with a Bruno Fernandes brace enabling them to come from behind to beat Everton 3-1.

Bernard gave Everton the lead early in the game, after latching on to a flicked header from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, before finishing past David de Gea.

Everton's lead didn't last long though, as Fernandes equalised with a superb header off a Luke Shaw cross. Fernandes then put United ahead a few minutes later, with a cross meant for Marcus Rashford that the Englishman got no contact on. Despite that, the ball trickled past Jordan Pickford in the Everton goal.

With Everton chasing the game late on, Edinson Cavani scored his first Manchester United goal, after Fernandes broke forward from midfield and played him in.

This is the first time that Carlo Ancelotti has lost three successive league games in charge of a club, since November 2006, when he was AC Milan manager.

Here's how each player fared for both teams.

Everton Player Ratings

Jordan Pickford - 5/10

Pickford cannot be held at fault for any of the Manchester United goals, and also made an excellent stop to deny Marcus Rashford. However, he was a little lucky to not concede a penalty for a loose kick on Harry Maguire.

Seamus Coleman - 5/10

Coleman had problems throughout the first half, as Manchester United kept creating overloads against him. James Rodriguez didn't really track back enough, leaving Coleman alone against two attackers. While going forward, Coleman often took on more than he could manage, in trying to dribble past a host of defenders, instead of playing a simple pass or cross.

Michael Keane - 5/10

Both the Manchester United goals in the first half came as a result of Everton allowing an attacker to creep in between their two centre-backs. As the more senior centre-back, Keane should have taken more responsibility for organising the defence.

Mason Holgate - 4/10

Holgate's return to the Everton starting lineup was not a happy one. He was caught ball-watching instead of stopping Fernandes from heading the ball for the first goal. His distribution was also surprisingly below-par.

Lucas Digne - 6/10

Digne's crossing was a disappointment today. He linked up well with Bernard for most of the game, and got into excellent crossing positions, but overhit most of them.

Allan - 5/10

Allan had an intriguing battle with Fernandes throughout the game, but came out second best. The Portuguese drifted all across the pitch, and made it difficult for Allan to keep a tabs on his movement.

Gylfi Sigurdsson - 4/10

It has to be mentioned that Sigurdsson's set-pieces all game were atrocious, as they hardly got past the first man. He was the first Everton player to be substituted, with Iwobi replacing him.

Abdoulaye Doucoure - 6/10

Doucoure played reasonably well for most of the game, and could have altered the result right at the death. He had two big chances, but put one shot high and failed to make contact on another.

James Rodriguez - 5/10

James showed isolated moments of his class with his passing, but for most of the game, he was a passenger. He made life difficult for Coleman by not tracking back.

Bernard - 7/10

Bernard was Everton's best player on the day. He gave Aaron Wan-Bissaka a difficult afternoon with his dribbling and movement in from the flank. He opened the scoring as well, with a placed shot that left David de Gea flapping.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - 6/10

The Englishman's aerial presence was not used well enough by Everton throughout the game. His flicked header set up Bernard's goal, but after that, there was little to no service into thei big striker.

Substitutes

Alex Iwobi - 6/10

Iwobi looked bright after coming on to replace Sigurdsson in the second half. He helped Everton maintain the width on the right flank, but like the rest of his team-mates, his crossing was not good enough.

Cenk Tosun - 4/10

Nothing that Tosun did on the pitch was of any impact to an Everton side who were chasing them. Some of his passes were misplaced by considerable margins as well.

Manchester United Player Ratings

David De Gea - 6/10

De Gea wasn't really tested too much in the game, with Everton's only shot on target being their goal. The Spaniard was not at fault for Bernard's goal either.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 5/10

It was a difficult afternoon for Wan-Bissaka against the combination of Bernard and Digne. His defending for the goal was a little too casual though, when he should've gotten closer to the Brazilian to block the shot.

Victor Lindelof - 6/10

Lindelof was well-beaten in the air by Calvert-Lewin in the build-up to the Everton goal. After that, the Swede acquitted himself well in clearing crosses when he had to.

Harry Maguire - 8/10

This was a proper captain's performance from the much-maligned Maguire. He was strong in the air, and went into duels with conviction. He won the ball from Coleman to set Manchester United off on their way to score their third goal.

Luke Shaw - 7/10

Shaw got himself a second assist in consecutive games with another terrific cross for Fernandes. He defended well against James and Coleman, as well. His suspected hamstring injury was the only dampener to Manchester United's day.

Scott McTominay - 6/10

This was a typical McTominay performance in midfield. He was an excellent screen for the Manchester United defence, and excelled in the physical battle against Allan and Doucoure.

Fred - 7/10

After a couple of underwhelming displays recently, Fred was once again superb in midfield. His battling was needed to keep James quiet on the Everton right, and the Brazilian did his job well.

Juan Mata - 5/10

Mata had a rather quiet game for the most part. He didn't really have a significant influence on the match in an attacking sense.

Bruno Fernandes - 9/10

Fernandes was the match-winner. He scored two goals, one of which should really have been Rashford's, but at this point, Manchester United will take them however they come. Fernandes also was extremely intelligent in carrying the ball as long as he did before freeing Cavani on his left for the clinching goal.

Marcus Rashford - 6/10

His presence was enough for Jordan Pickford to be distracted and the ball to creep in at the far-post to give Manchester United the lead. He missed a sitter in the second half, with the goal at his mercy, as he shot straight at Pickford.

Anthony Martial - 4/10

Martial was poor, and his run of Premier League games without a shot on target continued. His overall play was underwhelming as well.

Substitutes

Axel Tuanzebe - 6/10

Tuanzebe replaced the injured Shaw at left-back and did what was asked of him to help Manchester United keep their lead.

Paul Pogba - 6/10

Pogba displayed far more confidence in possession than he has in recent games, and helped keep the ball in the Everton half late in the second half.

Edinson Cavani - 7/10

The Uruguayan scored his first Manchester United goal with a routine finish past Pickford.
