Monday Recap 

United's previous seven league games had returned just one win ahead of Monday's clash with Derby.

The Red Devils started well and were ahead after six minutes, thanks to a superb free-kick from Callum Gribbin.

However, by the break, Nicky Butt's side was 2-1 down to a Derby team whose last win came in October.

Alex Babos equalised just before the half-four mark with a bending finish into the corner before Timi Max Elsnik headed in Mason Bennett's looping cross at the far post.

Three goals in five second-half minutes then wrapped up the points for Derby, as Elsnik netted again in the 67th minute before quick-fire strikes from Kellan Gordon and Emil Riis Jakobsen.

United netted twice more in the final 10 minutes, but it proved only to be a matter of damage limitation in the end, per the Red Devils' Twitter feed:

Everton re-established their six-point advantage at the top of the table, as they earned a hard-fought win over the Gunners.

The Toffees have now won six league games in a row, the kind of form that could make them impossible to catch at the top of the standings.

Everton left it late to beat Arsenal. It looked as though Monday's game at Haig Avenue would end goalless, but Broadhead found the winner with four minutes remaining.

After being fed by Kieran Dowell, the young forward dribbled into the box and finished low into the corner to earn Everton another valuable three points.
