    WHAT GARNACHO SAID

    Garnacho told Sky Sports when asked to explain his emotions after picking out the top corner with a remarkable bicycle kick: “I can't believe it to be honest. I didn't see how it went in. I just listened around and said: 'oh my God.' For me, one of the best goals I have ever scored. Yes, probably (one of the goals of the season) but is only November.”

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    United captain Bruno Fernandes was among those left in awe of Garnacho’s spectacular strike, with the Portuguese playmaker saying of the effort that rocked protesting home supporters on Merseyside: “A goal like this has to silence the crowd. Everton fans were of course not really happy about it but I think they would enjoy seeing this kind of goal. It is amazing that football players can do this kind of thing. We are all proud of him and obviously I am very happy to have him on our side.”

    WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD?

    Garnacho has never hidden his admiration for former United star Cristiano Ronaldo and broke out the Portuguese’s iconic ‘Siu’ celebration. He will be hoping to have many more goals to toast this season, with the Red Devils set to be back in Champions League action on Wednesday when taking in a must-win trip to Galatasaray.
