Manchester United came from behind to beat Everton 2-1 in the late Sunday evening kick-off in the Premier League. Cristiano Ronaldo’s 700th club goal stole the headlines and the points for the Red Devils who were able to recover from the crushing derby defeat last weekend.It was far from the start Erik ten Hag will have wanted though, as he watched Alex Iwobi bend a brilliant effort beyond David de Gea inside five minutes. It didn’t take long for the response though as Antony made it three goals in his first three Premier League games with a composed finish 10 minutes later.Anthony Martial provided the pinpoint assist for that equaliser but had to be withdrawn inside half an hour after picking up an injury in the warm-up. His replacement made full advantage of his early introduction as Ronaldo latched onto Casemiro’s through ball and finished calmly past Jordan Pickford to bring up the 700th club goal of his glittering career.Other than having to weather a stoppage-time Everton s
Hello and welcome to The Athletic's live coverage of this Europa League game between FC Zurich and Arsenal. The Premier League leaders got off to the perfect start after a quarter of an hour as Marquinhos' well-taken debut goal has given them an early 1-0 lead. Although, on the brink of half-time, they were pegged back by Mirlind Kryeziu's penalty after Eddie Nketiah brought Ole Kristian Selnaes down in the 18-yard box.The Arsenal striker made amends for that lapse in concentration in the second half as his header restored his side's one-goal advantage just after the hour mark.Team newsFC Zurich: Brecher, Boranijasevic, Kamberi, Kryeziu, Aliti; Dzemaili, Selnaes; Okita, Krasniqi, Guerrero; Tosin.Arsenal: Turner, Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Lokonga, Xhaka; Marquinhos, Vieira, Martinelli; Nketiah.(Photo: Christian Kaspar-Bartke/Getty Images)
The Erik ten Hag era got off to the worst possible start at Manchester United as they were beaten 2-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion.A pair of first-half goals from Pascal Gross ultimately decided the result on the opening weekend, despite an own goal from Alexis MacAllister offering the Red Devils a late glimmer of hope.United should have begun the 2022/23 Premier League season with an early goal when Bruno Fernandes found himself in acres of space inside the penalty area. Although, he could only fire his effort over the crossbar and, from there, Brighton dominated proceedings all over the pitch.Ex-United striker striker Danny Welbeck ran his former side ragged and it was his endeavour which brought the first goal as he ran to the by-line and pulled the ball back for Gross to sweep home. The Seagulls midfielder then doubled his tally for the season as he was first to react after David de Gea could only parry Leandro Trossard’s strike back into the danger area.The pre-match headli
