You can't play Liverpool and Man City every week.

Manchester United's fine run of form - Chelsea performance included - came to a crashing end at Goodison Park this afternoon as Louis van Gaal's men were hung, drawn and quartered by a well-organised Everton outfit. James McCarthy, John Stones (yes), and Kevin Mirallas were on target as the Toffees joined an elite list of teams to score three or more goals against United - along with Leicester and MK Dons, of course. Here's how the players fared, in a word.
