Chelsea cruised to a win in the day's opening match, courtesy of goals from Mount, Pedro, Willian and Giroud. The Blues were rarely troubled by the Toffees, who now sit in 12th place in the standings and appear to have fallen out of the race for Europe.
Mount opened the scoring, continuing what has been a solid season for the young midfielder:
Another talented academy graduate overshadowed the 21-year-old, however. Billy Gilmour, the 18-year-old Scotsman, had another excellent outing in the centre of the park, playing next to Mount.
While he didn't get on the scoresheet, he won himself another Man of the Match award:
Tammy Abraham is still the team's top scorer in the Premier League, but Giroud is starting to find some form at a crucial time. He does his best work off the ball, creating space for others, and that was on full display on Sunday.
Martial also got in on the scoring fun, bagging the first goal of the contest against City. He's been a big help against the top teams this season:
Ederson was partly at fault for the goal, letting the ball slip past him, but he made a far worse error for the second. The stopper threw the ball at Scott McTominay in an attempt to launch a late counter-attack, and the midfielder calmly converted.
The Red Devils easily neutralised City's big hitters, and per Dean Jones of Bleacher Report, it continued what has been a great run for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer:
The win leaves United just three points behind fourth place and ahead of Wolverhampton, Sheffield United and Tottenham Hotspur.
