On Sunday afternoon, Manchester United defeated Everton by four goals to secure all three points at Old Trafford.

Joshua Zirkzee and Marcus Rashford both scored two goals to give United their first Premier League triumph under manager Ruben Amorim.

United had 60% possession in comparison to Everton’s 40% share of the ball.

Out of their 11 attempts at goal, the Red Devils were able to obtain five shots on goal. However, just two of Sean Dyche’s team’s eight attempts at goal needed Andre Onana’s intervention.

United completed 619 passes with an 89% pass accuracy rate. Everton completed 408 passes with a 40% success rate.

The result has left United in ninth position in the Premier League table, with 19 points gained from a possible 39.

While he didn’t get on the score sheet, Amad Diallo’s contributions were equally impactful. Yet again, he started at right-wing-back and barely put a foot wrong.

In particular, Amad’s relentless work rate directly led to both of Zirkzee’s goals.

During the time he was on the pitch, the United no. 16 registered two assists – for Zirkzee and Rashford’s second goals.

He touched the ball 71 times and found his teammates with 42 of the 49 passes he attempted, managing an individual pass accuracy of 86%. Three of his passes were key passes.

Amad successfully connected with just one of the three long balls he tried to ping. He created two big chances.

The 22-year-old embarked on four dribbles, completing all of them. He delved into 14 ground duels and won an amazing 11 of them. Aerially, Amad was required to contest three challenges. He came out on top once.

Amad also made two clearances and put in four tackles.
