In a match that will surely be remembered for years to come, Alejandro Garnacho etched his name into Premier League history with a stunning overhead kick goal that opened the scoring for Manchester United against Everton at Goodison Park. The 19-year-old Argentine winger has been a regular choice for manager Erik ten Hag despite not always finding the back of the net. However, he made no mistake when the opportunity presented itself in the third minute of the match.
With Diogo Dalot’s cross from the right side sailing over everyone, Garnacho was the only player in the vicinity to react. Positioned near the back post, he had to contort his body just to make contact with the ball. But it was a connection he made with perfection, unleashing an unstoppable overhead kick that rocketed past Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and into the top corner of the net.
The goal not only put United ahead early but also sent shockwaves through the football world. Garnacho’s technique, athleticism, and audacity were all on display in one glorious moment. It was a goal worthy of gracing the biggest stages in the game, and it will undoubtedly be a contender for Goal of the Season
Manchester United secured their most emphatic victory of the season at Goodison Park, triumphing 3-0 over Everton to ascend into the Premier League’s top six.
