A manager’s fortunes can switch in an instant and when Abdoulaye Doucouré shaped to convert Alex Iwobi’s 94th-minute cross at Goodison Park Ole Gunnar Solskjær must have feared the worst. An Everton equaliser beckoned but Doucouré produced an air-shot. United broke and substitute Edinson Cavani sealed a precious victory with his first goal for the club seconds later. Solskjær could breathe easily once again.
United’s seventh consecutive Premier League away win – equalling the club record set by Sir Alex Ferguson’s team in 1993 – was orchestrated by Bruno Fernandes and reinforced the view that Solskjær’s side are better equipped to flourish on their travels rather than Old Trafford. Fernandes scored twice and led the breakaway that ended with the Uruguay international converting the third with the final kick of the game. For Everton, a third successive league defeat rendered their flying start to the season a distant memory.
