Solskjaer gets response as Man Utd beats Everton 3-1 in EPL

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got the response he demanded from his Manchester United players as Bruno Fernandes scored twice and Edinson Cavani netted late in a come-from-behind 3-1 win at Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.

The United manager acknowledged ahead of the game at Goodison Park that he was under pressure after tame losses to Arsenal in the league and Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League over the last week, and Solskjaer saw Everton take the lead in the 19th minute through Bernard.

However, United's apparent tactic of overloading Everton's right side paid off with both of Fernandes' first-half goals coming from that flank.
