TOWNSEND TALKS
Andros Townsend has spoken after copying Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'siu' celebration at Old Trafford.
The Everton man told BT Sport: "He's my idol. I grew up watching Ronaldo, I spent hours on the training pitch trying to execute his techniques.
"Maybe should have spent longer on the celebration because it wasn't great!"

ACTION AREAS
And despite boasting almost THREE-QUARTERS of the ball, The Red Devils failed to come away with all three points.

STAT ATTACK
Everton come away with Old Trafford with a point despite managing just two efforts on target in the entire game.
But it was a trademark away performance from Rafa Benitez's side.
Stubborn to break down, and score on the counter-attack.
Job done for The Toffees.
And they should have won it, with Yerry Mina's late goal ruled out for offside.

RETURN OF THE ANT?
Anthony Martial was one shining light in Manchester United's disappointing draw against Everton today.
The 25-year-old has had a difficult start to the season at Old Trafford, and faces an uncertain future at the club.
But he was excellent today before being replaced just before the hour mark due to injury.
And as soon as he netted his goal the Frenchman's confidence instantly skyrocketed.
He ran with with the ball more, was more direct and willing to shoot – something United fans have not seen of him this season.
- Giacomo Pisa
NOT HAPPY
Cristiano Ronaldo sulked straight down the tunnel as soon as the full time whistle sounded.
Was it frustration for not starting?
Frustration about more points dropped at home?
It's probably a mixture of both, but once thing is for certain – he didn't look happy.

‘TELL THEM BE CAREFUL’
Retired UFC superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov has jokingly threatened to ‘CHOKE OUT’ any Everton player who tries to get their hands on Cristiano Ronaldo’s shirt today.
The former lightweight champion is in attendance at Old Trafford this afternoon to watch Manchester United’s Premier League clash with the Toffees.
Nurmagomedov, 33, decided to watch the match to see his pal Ronaldo in action.
And the Russian is hellbent on getting the United great’s shirt after the final whistle – so much so he’s willing to slap on one of his signature submissions on any Everton player who tries to bag it.
Speaking at the Arnold Expo on Friday, he said: “Tomorrow, I’m gonna go watch the game.
“And I said, ‘Ronaldo, you’re t-shirt, you have to give me.
“‘If someone asks, tell them I’m gonna choke him out. Tell them be careful.”
