Trending
Despite arguably being the favourites ahead of kick-off, Manchester United were stunned into silence in the first period. A galvanized Everton made a great start to the game under David Moyes and raced into a two-goal lead by the half-hour mark. Abdoulaye Doucoure was dictating terms from the middle of the park as he assisted Beto for the team's opener.
Doucoure himself got on the scoresheet in the 33rd minute as he scored to make it 2-0 to Everton, who were flying. Despite dominant possession, though, Manchester United failed to attempt a single shot on target in the first half as they were still finding their feet in the final third. The hosts, on the other hand, hit all four of their shots on target and carried a deserved two-goal cushion into half-time.
Ruben Amorim knew he must avoid defeat at all costs to keep him in his job considering the struggles he has faced since joining. He made multiple changes early in the second half and they paid off, aiding Manchester United's attacking moves. Skipper Bruno Fernandes scored in the 72nd minute but failed to get a response from Everton, who seemed complacent.
Manchester United scored their second goal, and in doing so, leveled the contest in the 80th minute as Manuel Ugarte was on target. Moyes made some changes too as both teams tried to win it at the death. Everton seemed to have hit a jackpot as Ashley Young earned a late penalty, which was eventually overruled after a lengthy VAR check.
Neither side could bag the winner and the game ended in a 2-2 draw. On that note, here are the Red Devils' player ratings.
