A stunning goal from the Manchester United right-back.

Well, it's safe to say that Antonio Valencia has scored the best goal of his Manchester United career. Then again, that list isn't too lengthy! Prior to his absolutely breathtaking strike past Jordan Pickford, the Ecuadorian had only ever scored 22 times in 296 appearances but it's likely that he's never scored a better goal than the one which gave United a 1-0 lead over Koeman's side. With just four minutes gone, Nemanja Matic played a sweeping ball out wide which found Valencia in space on the edge of the box. Rather than take a touch and set himself, the right-back took the shot on first-time and absolutely buried it past the Everton 'keeper. It's a breathtaking strike that came through a host of bodies before finding the top-corner. https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/909433031492034560 In the aftermath of the goal, Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville expressed his opinion that David de Gea would have saved Valencia's shot. The majority of football fans would argue that not even three 'keepers in goal would have got near this rocket from the right-back. What do you think? Was Pickford slow moving his feet, or does Neville not have a leg to stand on? https://twitter.com/steadams18/status/909434800158777349 https://twitter.com/RyanGKCoach/status/909434571850223617 https://twitter.com/JordAvfc/status/909435271216758785 https://twitter.com/gavlafell/status/909434865728331776 https://twitter.com/Joshconnelly00/status/909434446713106432 https://twitter.com/MichaelGVine/status/909434112804614144 https://twitter.com/Frog__23/status/909437596295626753
