Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee bagged two goals apiece as Manchester United thumped Everton 4-0 on Sunday in new manager Ruben Amorim's first Premier League match at Old Trafford.

Rashford put United ahead in the 34th minute when he darted in to fire home Bruno Fernandes's corner with a side-footed volley that sailed in off the outstretched foot of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

The goal ignited Amorim's side, who dominated the rest of the match, and Zirkzee doubled the lead in the 41st minute when Amad Diallo intercepted Jordan Pickford's goal kick and the Dutch forward fired home Fernandes's cross from close range.

Rashford completed his brace 20 seconds after halftime when he ran onto a through ball from Amad who caused Everton problems all afternoon.

The Ivory Coast forward stripped the ball off James Tarkowski in the 64th minute and drove forward before feeding Zirkzee to slot in his second.

United climbed three spots to ninth in the table after 13 games, while Everton, who have not scored in four matches, are two points above the relegation zone in 15th.

Fulham's Cairney rescues point, sent off in draw at Spurs

Elsewhere, Fulham captain Tom Cairney came off the bench to rescue a point before being sent off in a 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday, after Brennan Johnson's volley gave the hosts the lead.

Fulham were the better side in the first half and Raul Jimenez was twice denied by goalkeeper Fraser Forster, making his first league appearance this season in place of the injured Guglielmo Vicario.

Spurs took the lead against the run of play in the 54th minute through Johnson, his third goal in four games, before Cairney's curling effort in the 67th minute pulled Fulham level.

Cairney was sent off seven minutes from time for raking his studs down Dejan Kulusevski's calf but Fulham held on for a deserved point, which put them 10th in the table with 19 points from 13 games. Spurs moved up to seventh with 20 points. (Reuters)
