Manchester United got back to winning ways with an impressive victory at Everton. Here, we take a close look at the game...
STAR PLAYER
Ander Herrera: Entrusted with the number 10 shirt and did not disappoint. The Spaniard scored his third goal of the season and played a part in the other two. Looked confident on the ball and his vision helped carve open the Everton defence.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Minute's applause for Howard Kendall: There is not usually much affection between Manchester United fans and their Merseyside counterparts, but the minute's applause for Everton's former boss was observed impeccably by the home and away fans.
VIEW FROM THE BENCH
Louis van Gaal showed his faith in Wayne Rooney by playing his captain up front and he did not disappoint. Van Gaal's decision to play Anthony Martial on the left against Seamus Coleman on his return from injury also caused Everton problems. Roberto Martinez made a mistake by starting Steven Naismith alongside Romelu Lukaku. The hosts looked far more potent up front when Arouna Kone came on at the break.

MOAN OF THE MATCH
Phil Jagielka's performance. The 33-year-old, captained England on Monday, but looked remarkably average against Rooney. His sloppy pass allowed United to record their third.
