Everton hit Sheffield United's European hopes with Richarlison winner

If Dean Henderson was hoping for another chance to impress his parent club Manchester United with his shot-stopping skills he will be disappointed with his performance against Everton. The goalkeeper did not have a save to make in the first half, so tame were the visitors in attack, then having lulled their opponents into a false sense of security Everton came up with a set-piece winner in the first minute of the second to which Henderson had no answer.It is still debatable how much Everton have actually improved under Carlo Ancelotti, though at least Richarlison’s goal prevented any repeat of United’s win at Goodison last September when Marco Silva’s side were losing against newly promoted teams for fun. So solid have Sheffield proved in the top flight it is easy to forget this is still their first season back, and though this result will not help their quest for European football they are still going to finish higher than many more established sides.
