Man United Vs. Everton Result, Highlights And Analysis As Antony And Rashford Seal FA Cup Win
Manchester's Old Trafford After defeating Everton 3-1 on Friday, Manchester United became the first team to advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
After Antony's quick-fire opener was earlier neutralised by Conor Coady, Marcus Rashford's last-second penalty gave the Red Devils their fifth straight victory across all competitions since the World Cup break.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin believed he had tied the score at 2-2 but a VAR review determined that the goal was offside.
The outcome keeps United in the hunt for four championships, but it also puts more pressure on Everton manager Frank Lampard ahead of two potentially crucial Premier League matches against Southampton and West Ham.

When Antony slipped in to convert Rashford's low cross after only four minutes, the Everton supporters, who had chanted "sack the board" before kickoff, must have expected the worst. Everton were still smarting after a 4-1 home loss to Brighton & Hove Albion.
However, 10 minutes later, Old Trafford was in disbelief when Neal Maupay's cross managed to somehow of David de Gea to deliver a tap-in to Coady.
The second half saw United regain the lead after being the more dominant team. Coady scored from a similar situation, but this time he scored against his own goalie after excellent work by Rashford.
When Demarai Gray's superb cross was chested in by substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Everton felt they had tied the score once more. However, the goal was ruled out for offside in the buildup.
Everton's aspirations seemed to vanish as United regained the initiative, and Rashford's calm penalty, awarded after Alejandro Garnacho was tripped, effectively ended the match.

At Old Trafford in seven straight games since Wayne Rooney ten years ago. Could another United No. 10 maintain this level of play, grow into his responsibilities, and eventually take the reins as captain or the team's most crucial player? Not against it would you wager.
Everton needs to capture this tenacity:
On their most recent trip to Manchester, Everton put on an excellent, committed effort, holding City to a 1-1 league draw. Even if there was occasionally a dearth of quality in midfield and the attacking third, Frank Lampard's team gave it their all at Old Trafford. Lampard stated, "I think we deserved a draw." People of Rashford's calibre occasionally experience low points.
They would be having a far stronger season if they played with this level of resolve every single week. The issue is that performances like the one at the Etihad Stadium frequently lead to another like the one that resulted in Brighton's 4-1 thrashing.
Only a slight offside prevented Lampard's players from scoring a second equaliser here, and they fought valiantly to the very end even as the outcome slipped away. Now they must demonstrate it in two upcoming league games against West Ham and Southampton, two other struggling teams. If they don't, Lampard might lose his job and his side might fall further behind in the relegation race.
