Everton Vs. Manchester United Live, 2011 Premier League: ‘Chicharito’ Goal Has Red Devils Up Early

If you didn't know, 'Chicharito' Javier Hernandez is really, really good at becoming completely unmarked, then tapping in easy finishes. It's like what Michael Owen did for a living before he got old and average at football. Manchester United lead Everton 1-0 after 18 minutes of play at Goodison Park, thanks to a finish by the little pea, and it's going to take some luck (read: Johnny Evans screwing up) for Everton to get back into this one.

Danny Welbeck, who is playing wide left instead of as a forward, provided the assist with a fantastic cross. From the left flank, he floated the ball up over a couple of Everton defenders towards the back post, where there was no one in front of Chicharito. The ball fell right to his feet and he poked it in; the only way it could have been more Chicharito-y of a goal is if he scored it with his rear end.
