The Spaniard, whose mobility was key again for United´s attack, was the protagonist of two actions that did not end in the net for very little. First, he left Lukaku face to face with the goalkeeper after a recovery near the Everton area. His brightest appearance came in the 65th minute. He skillfully took a free-kick hitting Pickford’s right post.
Juan Mata has hit the woodwork 5 times from free-kicks in the Premier League since 2011/12; more than any other player.

Juan´s first team action is synonymous of victory for United. This season, all ManU wins (four in Premier and one in Champions) with the Spanish player in the starting XI. With 13 points, Mourinho´s men share the first place of the Premier with Guardiola´s City. The next challenge ahead will be on Wednesday against Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup.
