Let's have a look at all the best reaction as Claudio Ranieri’s Watford thrashed Everton

One week after enduring a terrible 5-0 defeat against Liverpool, the now transformed Watford turned the tables on Merseyside to inflict a five-goal humbling of their own on Everton and Rafael Benítez. Watch the highlights of the match in the video below.

Manager reaction

The Everton manager spoke with the media after the match: “Anthony had a good game but he doesn’t have 90 minutes in him yet. He has to improve his stamina. I thought we needed Richarlison because he can score goals and he came on the pitch and scored.

“If we finished winning everyone would say it was a great substitution but we made mistake after mistake and that was the key part of the game.”

The Watford manager was clearly delighted with his side's performance: “Every time I spoke to my players I told them: ‘Never, never give up.

“Atlético Madrid are one of the best teams at not conceding and lost 3-2 to Liverpool. If they can concede three to one of the best teams in the world then it can happen that Watford concede five, but after that you have to fight for every second ball and every duel.”

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)
