After defeating Leicester City and Birmingham City and drawing with Middlesborough, Everton travelled to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United and continue their run. The Toffees showed up to play that day as they kept a clean sheet defensively, while getting two goals from Torry Gillick and Tommy Lawton, respectively, for a 2-0 win. The victory was part of an 8-game unbeaten streak that helped the Toffees secure their 5th league title in club history, a trophy that they would hold on to for the next 8 years as the war forced the stoppage of League Division One Football until the 1946-1947 season -
