Everton 0-1 Man United: Player Ratings as Šeško Strikes Again
Everton 0-1 Manchester United — a gritty away win that could prove huge in the race for the top four.
Here’s the breakdown:
🧤 Goalkeeper – 7/10
Calm under pressure and dealt well with crosses. Distribution was steady, and most importantly, command of the box at set-pieces looked far more assured than in recent weeks.
🛡️ Defence – 8/10
🪨 “We finally learned how to defend corners.”
And it showed. United looked organised, aggressive in the air, and much better positioned on second balls. Clear communication and strong first contacts prevented Everton from building momentum from set plays — a major improvement.
⚙️ Midfield – 7/10
Worked tirelessly, especially out of possession. Pressed intelligently and limited Everton’s space between the lines. Could have been more clinical in transition, but overall control was solid.
🎯 Attack – 7.5/10
The difference-maker once again was Benjamin Šeško.
⚽ Took his goal well and showed sharp movement in the box.
But… he should have had more. His positioning was excellent, yet there were moments where a cleaner first touch or quicker decision could have sealed the game earlier.
Still, goals win matches — and he delivered.
📊 Big Picture: Top 4 & UCL Dream Alive
4️⃣ The top-four push is heating up, and this win keeps the Champions League dream firmly on track. Grinding out 1-0 victories away from home is often what separates contenders from hopefuls.
Defensive resilience + clinical moments = serious momentum.
