Sports Desk, Dec 26 (efe-epa).- Gylfi Sigurdsson’s goal in the 80th minute was enough for Everton to beat hosts Sheffield United 1-0 on Saturday and climb to second place in the Premier League, just 2 points behind Merseyside rivals Liverpool.
Abdoulaye Doucoure exploited Sheffield’s only major defensive lapse, getting the ball to the Icelander for an easy goal against keeper Aaron Ramsdale, who turned in another stalwart performance for a team that has the worst record through the first 15 matches of the season in the history of the English top-flight.
