Summary: Manchester United - Everton 1:3 (FA Cup) (Sport1)
Manchester United continues its wonderful form, as last night (Friday) recorded a seventh consecutive victory in all formats.
The opponent this time was Everton, whom the Red Devils knocked out of the FA Cup with 1:3 on the way to the fourth round.
However, the moment that stole the show in the game was actually a negative one, and after four clean sheets, David de Gea surrendered to a particularly bizarre goal at his own fault
in the 14th minute, when the Reds were leading 0:1, a seemingly simple cross was passed towards the five-yard box.
Instead of catching the ball in his hands, the Spaniard tried to move away but the ball slipped between his legs and Conor Cody pushed the temporary equalizer from point blank range.
What was going through his mind?

In England, they were shocked by the terrible mistake, and ex-United player Roy Keane did not have mercy: "It looked like he had a little to drink, it looked like the goalkeeper was sent off and a field player entered the goal instead, he didn't know what to do. As a coach or a player I could kill him for that, I would Lynching him at halftime. Why did he wait? If you make a decision, at least make it quickly."
The other commentators were a little more gentle, and Ian Wright said: "We're talking about a goalkeeper who, until recently, was one of the best in the league. I don't know what happened to him there."
Lee Dixon added: "I can't believe what I saw, it's a nightmare for him, I'm not sure he understood where the ball went. He's one of the best goalkeepers in the world at stopping kicks with his foot, but in this case you just stop with your hand. What was going through his mind?"

The one who meanwhile continued his wonderful form and received compliments is Marcus Rashford.
The fiery English scored the first goal and Cody's own goal, and in added time sealed the result of the game with a penalty into the net of his teammate Jordan Pickford.
"This is probably the best form I've been in," Rashford said at the end of the game, "I'm getting opportunities and scoring. If I keep creating situations, I feel I'll keep scoring."
Erik ten Haag praised Rashford: "Another great performance from him. He plays with a lot of confidence, and belief and makes good movement. He was a threat for 90 minutes, you can't criticize the Everton defense too much. Will he get any better? You never know in football , I now expect goals and assists from him every week."
