Darren Fletcher scored a memorable goal as he launched Manchester United on their way to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Everton. Michael Carrick and Antonio Valencia were also on target to complete the Red Devils’ biggest win since August and ensure they heeded Sir Alex Ferguson’s pre-match call for a more clinical attitude.
