Mourinho Smile Over Manchester United = 4 Everton = 0 (naijacontain sport news)

Three goals in the final seven minutes from Manchester United blew Everton away in a 4-0 win on Wayne Rooney's return to Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney's first return to Old Trafford since leaving Manchester United in the close-season ultimately ended in a 4-0 thumping thanks to three late goals, as Romelu Lukaku scored against former side Everton to heap the pressure on Ronald Koeman.
United were poor for much of Sunday's Premier League match, but blew Everton away in the final stages, with Rooney – who previously missed a couple of good chances – powerless to help following his substitution in the 82nd minute.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial all netted after Rooney's exit to condemn Everton to a fourth successive defeat in all competitions.
Unsurprisingly, most of the pre-match attention was on Rooney and Lukaku, but within four minutes of kick-off Antonio Valencia had successfully made himself the man of the moment with a simply spectacular 20-yard strike.
Everton did improve as the first period went on, with Rooney squandering a decent chance, but United remained the bigger threat and Lukaku should have scored two separate occasions.
United were poor after the break, however, with their attacks becoming predictable and slow, while David de Gea twice bailed them out when denying Rooney and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

But in the final seven minutes United came to life once again to punish Koeman and Everton, as Lukaku set up Mkhitaryan, scored himself and then saw Martial fire home a penalty, extending Everton's winless run to six games in all competitions to further increase the scrutiny on Koeman.

Manchester United win emphatically at home for the fourth game on the bounce, joining Manchester City back at the top of the Premier League. Antonio Valencia's stunner got them going in the fourth minute. Jose Mourinho's men were forced to dig in against Everton's resistance and David de Gea was called into action more than once to keep the scores level. However, the Red Devils upped the ante towards the end of the contest and goals from Henrik Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku - against his former club - and Anthony Martial secured the three points. Ronaldo Koeman's side lose again by a comfortable margin, with the club now dropping into the bottom three. The pressure is now on the Dutchman to turn things around quickly.
