Garnacho gave United an early lead at Goodison Park on Sunday with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/watch-goal-of-season-already-won-alejandro-garnacho-channels-cristiano-ronaldo-overhead-kick-man-utd-everton/blt75198f52dae4a569" target="_blank">stunning overhead kick goal</a>, drawing immediate comparisons to Wayne Rooney's iconic effort against Manchester City. The 19-year-old's wonderstrike has immediately been hailed as a goal of the season contender and while Ten Hag agrees, he was not happy with the way his team played afterwards.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"Probably goal of the season. Also the build-up, not just the finish, was very good. The finish is fantastic," he told Sky Sports. "After the start of the game we were too easy-going. I criticised the team at half-time. They thought they were already there. You can't do that. You have to do 100 minutes on the pitch. Second half we did very well."

WHAT TEN HAG SAID

Argentina international Garnacho was elated with his effort, saying: "I cannot believe it. To be honest I just turned around and thought 'oh my god'. One of the best I have scored - I am happy."Asked if he will win the award for best goal in 2023-24, he said: "Probably! It is still November, but yes."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The overhead kick was not the only example of Garnacho emulating Rooney on Sunday. At the age of 19 years and 148 days, the winger broke the United hero's record as the youngest Red Devils star to score against Everton at Goodison Park.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">19 - Aged 19 years and 148 days, Alejandro Garnacho is the youngest <a href="https://twitter.com/ManUtd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ManUtd</a> player to score against Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League, surpassing Wayne Rooney (19 years, 293 days in August 2005).
