Hi everyone. I'm having trouble with EF Core in ASP.NET

Core 3. I have some login code where I first check for a user's existence with:

_context.Users.Any(user => user.Email.Equals(email));

This returns true. However, when I try to fetch the user with:

User user = await _context.Users.SingleAsync(user => user.Email.Equals(email));

I get user as null. What could be wrong with this? I have not used EF Core before.
