Everton gave their Premier League survival hopes a huge boost thanks to their 1-0 win over Manchester United on Saturday.

Frank Lampard’s Toffees went into the Red Devils game on the back of three consecutive defeats in all competitions.

United weren’t in great form themselves, having drawn with Leicester in the league and losing to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Nonetheless, Ralf Rangnick’s charges were favourites to triumph at Goodison Park.

However, Everton delivered a solid display, while the Red Devils were dreadful, culminating in a victory for Lampard’s side.

Anthony Gordon’s deflected goal in the first half proved the difference between the two sides.

The Everton academy graduate’s 27th-minute strike came off Harry Maguire and wrong-footed David de Gea.

Jordan Pickford was also in fine form, making a string of important saves to thwart the lethargic Red Devils.

After the game, top pundits Gary Neville and Gary Lineker delivered their verdicts on Everton’s win.

Neville pulled no punches against his boyhood club, labelling them a “joke”.

Meanwhile, Lineker hailed Everton’s “massive” win – even if it was “only” against Man United.

Everton are 17th in the Premier League table on 28 points, four clear of 18th-placed Burnley.
