Goals by Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani allowed Manchester United to overhaul an early Bernard deficit against Everton to win at Goodison Park.

Makeshift Manchester City go down to first defeat of the season at Shakhtar Donetsk
SHAKHTAR DONETSK 2, MANCHESTER CITY 1
Shakhtar Donetsk became the first club to beat Manchester City this season, winning 2-1 in Kharkiv to qualify for the knock-out stage of the Champions League after Napoli lost 2-1 at 10-man Feyenoord.
First half goals by Bernard and Ismaily set a motivated Shakhtar on their way to inflicting the first defeat on City since April 5 this year, and while Sergio Aguero’s injury time penalty gave City hope of another miracle, boss Pep Guardiola’s 100th Champions League game ended with the demise of City’s record 20 game winning run even though they had already qualified for the knock-out stage.
It was a night for City’s youngsters and fringe players to try and stake their claim for first team action but instead it was a night to forget for most of them.
