Plagiarism is sometimes good. At the age of 19, Alejandro Garnacho scored a fabulous goal on Sunday at Everton. From the 3rd minute of this match on the 13th day of the Premier League, the young Argentine striker from Manchester United took off on a cross delivered by Diogo Dalot to score a returned scissors which left Jordan Pickford, the Toffees goalkeeper, stunned.
This feat inevitably recalls that of another United striker, this time at Old Trafford: a certain Wayne Rooney, author of a similar bicycle kick against Manchester City on February 12, 2011.
The Red Devils are back on track
In both cases, the Red Devils achieved victory. This Sunday, Marcus Rashford (56th from the penalty spot) and Frenchman Anthony Martial (75th) increased the score. This third success in a row allows Man U to move up to 6th place, their best so far this season.
