The best of the weekend's talking points, from Duncan Ferguson doing his job prospects no harm to Leicester's pantomime villain and more rough treatment for Adama Traore...
Manchester United must have a special place in the heart of Duncan Ferguson. During his time as a player, he scored more Premier League goals against United than any other opponent.
Those performances and career-changing moments against them helped him become a Toffees legend. Fast forward two nearly decades and Old Trafford might just have been the place where he convinced the Everton hierarchy that he's the man to lead Everton into the post-Marco Silva era.
Despite having to play without four of the starting XI that started in the win over Chelsea due to injuries and illness, Everton adapted well to the changes, playing with great tenacity and character with Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin providing a strong outlet in the final third.
Ferguson even showed the ruthlessness to hook the underperforming Moise Kean after bringing him on just 18 minutes earlier, claiming he "needed to make a substitution to kill a bit of time".
An authoritative act and one that potentially shows that he's not a manager to be messed with. Everton now have a big decision to make.
