Everton won 4-0 at Goodison Park against Manchester United at the weekend.

Gylfi Sigurdsson has told the Liverpool Echo that Marco Silva’s message before Everton’s match against Manchester United was very simple.

Everton won 4-0 against United at Goodison Park on Sunday, and they dismantled the Red Devils.

The Toffees bounced back from a very disappointing 2-0 defeat against Fulham by putting in arguably their best display of the season.

And Sigurdsson, who was brought to Goodison Park for £40 million (The Telegraph), said: “He [Silva] told us not to perform like we did against Fulham! He wanted us to perform like we had in the previous few games, it’s quite simple.

“We knew how poor the performance was against Fulham and we knew how good the other performances were.”

Everton were the better side from start to finish against United, as their impressive home form continued.

The Toffees took the lead early on when Richarlison acrobatically scored, and they never looked back after.

Everton scored further goals through Sigurdsson, Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott as they collected an impressive three points.

Everton are now up to seventh place in the Premier League table, as they push to claim a European place for next term.
