Everton continue 🏅to impress in the Premier League as they left Manchester United with a point in a 1-1 draw.

Rafa Benitez was initially a controversial appointment at Goodison Park, but he’s sur𒅌ely silenced his critics over the past few weeks.

Everton have picked up 14 points from their opening seven league games of🥃 the season and sit in the upper echelons of the table.

The Toffees are also playing ꦜwell and might have even beaten the Red Devils at Old Trafford.

Everton were unlucky to fall behind just before half time as Ant🍸hony Martial claimed his first goal since February.

The Blue🔯s had threatened prior to the hosts’ breakthrough, with Salomon Ro♏ndon, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Demarai Gray coming close.

Everton managed to equalise in the 65th minute, Andros Tow🦄nsend scoring with a composed finish past David de Gea.

Later on, the Toffes had the ball in the back of the🌞 net once again.

However, VAR deemed Yerry Mina’s goal offside, so it finished allไ square.

Ben Godfrey was one of Everto꧒n’ဣs standout players on the day with a masterclass at the back.

As p✤er , he finished the game having made six clearance🐟s, four recoveries, four successful tackles, and won three aerial duels.

In addition, Godfrey made one 🔥key pass, 18 suc🎃cessful passes and 11 forward passes.

The 2ඣ3-year-old 🌟has been superb since joining Everton in a last October.

Everton are on the up under Benitez and Godfrey is bound to playꦡ a key role in what will hopefully b🐟e a fruitful season.
