Manchester United worked hard for a 2-1 win against Everton, a result that has lifted the club to fifth in the table, just one point below fourth-placed Chelsea.
United secured all three points thanks to goals from Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo in the first half.
One of United’s best players against the Toffees was Diogo Dalot.
The Portuguese fullback posted staggering statistics in victory at Goodison Park, requiring Erik ten Hag’s men to be decisive defensively.
Dalot completed 100% of the dribbles he attempted.
Similarly, the 23-year-old won 100% of the tackles he went deep on, and emerged victorious in every case.
Dalot won 100% of his aerial duels and challenges, highlighting his aerial dominance.
The player had a passing accuracy of 82% to his name in the win against Frank Lampard’s team. On top of this, the defender had an impressive 86 touches on the ball.
Of the six long balls he attempted, Dalot successfully sent five to his teammates in an extraordinary display of his burgeoning skill on the ball.
They also won four of the six ground games they took part in, in what was a vastly improved performance from the one they showed against City a week ago.
Dalot also recorded four clearances.

Unsurprisingly, efforts are being made by both manager and club to tie the Portuguese international to a longer-term deal, with his current deal expiring at the end of the season.
