Manchester United arrived on Merseyside looking to bounce back from their midweek Champions League defeat in Barcelona and rekindle their Premier League top-four push, but suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Everton.
First-half goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson stunned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s lethargic side before Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott piled on the misery at Goodison Park.
The loss was United’s sixth in eight games in all competitions and turned up the heat on Solskjaer and his misfiring players, whose fortunes have slumped since the Norwegian was made permanent manager last month.
Man United are sixth in the table and have now conceded 48 goals in the Premier League this term, their most in a top-flight campaign since 1979.
