Ole reveals why Martial came off
The Frenchman struck his first goal of the season to give the Reds the lead, just before the break, running on to Bruno Fernandes’s through ball to lash the ball into the net.
But Andros Townsend netted on the counter-attack, equalising for Everton on 65 minutes and ensuring the points were shared. Martial was off the pitch by that point, with our no.9 having been replaced as part of a double substitution.
He and Edinson Cavani were switched with Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo respectively, on 57 minutes.
Speaking after the game, Ole praised Anthony for his goal and said that the substitution was because of an injury to Martial, rather than a tactical decision.
