The Red Devils were down 2-0 early in the game, but the 19-year-old scored twice in West London to pull them even and then put them ahead midway through the second half.

Unfortunately for Erik ten Hag’s squad, Chelsea pulled off a late comeback thanks to two goals scored by Cole Palmer after the clock struck 100 minutes.

Personally, I’m proud of Garnacho because his brace tonight tied a Premier League record that has stood for 25 years.

After tonight’s goals from Garnacho and another goal from another player, no youngster has scored three braces in a Premier League campaign since the 1998–99 season.

The teenage Argentine scored twice in a 3-0 victory over West Ham United in February, which was part of United’s five-game winning streak.

Garnacho also played a key role in Boxing Day’s comeback victory over Aston Villa; he scored twice to tie the game after falling behind 2-0 and then Rasmus Hojlund scored the game-winning goal.

That makes Garnacho the first youngster to do it since Michael Owen in the 1998–99 season, when the former Liverpool and Manchester United striker scored 23 goals.

Although United have been disappointing all season, Garnacho has been crucial to their improving performances.

The United winger is currently one goal short of a double-digit scoring total in his second season with the club.

With his goal against Everton, Garnacho now has nine goals, tying him with Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes for the team lead. Only Hojlund has scored thirteen goals in all competitions more than the Argentine.

His goal total of eight this season is a significant drop from last season’s thirty, but it has still put him ahead of Marcus Rashford.

When United face Liverpool in Sunday’s Premier League encounter, Garnacho will be aiming to repeat his performance from United’s 4-3 FA Cup triumph over Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team just before the international break, when he set up Amad Diallo for the game-winning goal.
