Manchester United’s players are celebrating a 2-0 victory at Goodison Park.
United were the better team from the first whistle although only scored the first goal in the 87th minute.
The strike was a terrific effort from Edinson Cavani, his sixth effort of the match and his fourth on target.
Cavani does not give up, with his work rate ensuring he keeps on getting into goalscoring positions.
This was his fourth goal in a United shirt, and incidentally his second at Goodison.
Eric Bailly was also back in the starting line up and helped United to keep a clean sheet, up against the prolific Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Bailly took out Richarlison in an unfortunate mid-game collision, and overcame an injury scare himself to complete all 90 minutes. This was his first match since October.
He sent a message expressing how pleased he was to be back, while Dean Henderson, Paul Pogba, and Bruno Fernandes also posted on social media.
United’s players are clearly full of confidence right now and that showed in the way the team started the game.
This win keeps the momentum going, and it won’t be easy over the upcoming matches.
United’s next four fixtures are Leicester (a), Wolves (h), Aston Villa (h) and then another home game against City in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
