LIVERPOOL, England (AP) β€” Manchester United bounced back from its drubbing against Arsenal to beat Everton 3-0 on an emotional day at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Former Everton striker Wayne Rooney sealed the win shortly after the hour, with his first away goal in 11 months, after Morgan Schneiderlin and Ander Herrera had given United a halftime lead.

There was a somber mood after former Everton player and manager Howard Kendall died in the morning aged 69. He led Everton to two league championships and a European title in the mid-1980s in the first of three coaching spells with the club.

Both sets of players wore black armbands and there was a minute’s silence before kickoff. A video of Kendall’s time at the club was also played on the big screen before the match.
