Carrick: Goodison defeat was a one-off

MICHAEL CARRICK insists the only way to treat Saturday’s crushing defeat at Everton is as a one-off.

After roaring back into the Premier League title picture and registering one of their most famous European away wins over AC Milan, Manchester United headed to Goodison Park in ebullient mood.

Manager Alex Ferguson made no attempt to hide the significance of the contest, feeling confident his side would give their usual destructive performance against the Toffees.
