Alejandro Garnacho scored a sensational overhead kick to open the scoring for Manchester United less than three minutes into the game against Everton at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n
Marcus Rashford passed to Diogo Dalot, who made a deep cross into the penalty area, where the Argentine met it with a magical overhead kick to send the ball flying into the top corner 15 yards from goal, leaving the home fans\u00a0stunned and the visiting supporters in raptures.<\/p>\n
Garnacho’s wonder goal was reminiscent of Wayne Rooney’s against Manchester City in 2011 – and Gary Neville\u00a0said in the Sky Sports commentary that it was the best overhead kick he had ever seen live.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sky Sports lead commentator Rob Hawthorne said: ‘That is outstanding. A spectacular goal from Alejandro Garnacho.’<\/p>\n
Neville picked up: ‘He can’t believe it, Garnacho. I can’t believe it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alejandro Garnacho’s wonderful overhead kick opened the scoring for Man United at Everton<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The action came within the first three minutes of play at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The goal drew immediate comparisons to Wayne Rooney’s in the Manchester derby in 2011<\/p>\n
‘I don’t think I’ve ever been in a stadium where I’ve seen an overhead kick as good as that, and I was there on the day Rooney scored in the Manchester derby. That was unbelievable, what we’ve just seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘This atmosphere has been silenced somewhat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He moves back two or three short shuffled steps. Wow. That is a magical, magical goal. I think we’ll see that a few times.’<\/p>\n
The nature of the strike left Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford at full stretch, but unable to get anywhere close to stopping Garnacho from opening the scoresheet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later on, Neville took a shot at a fellow pundit on the Sky Sports team, by saying: ‘I’ve got this vision at half-time of going into the studio and Roy Keane saying he should have saved it. It’s gonna happen, I’m telling you!’<\/p>\n
The early opener for the visitors was the first piece of action involving Everton since they were given a ten-point deduction by the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There was nothing Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford could do to prevent Garnacho’s strike<\/p>\n
