Everton 2-2 Manchester United: United Fight Back for a Point
Manchester United came from two goals down to earn a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime.
United, who have been struggling in recent weeks, were looking to bounce back after a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their last league match. However, they found themselves 2-0 down at the break after goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure put Everton in control.
The Toffees have been on a strong run of form under David Moyes, but United showed resilience after the break. Bruno Fernandes sparked hope for the visitors with a stunning free-kick in the 72nd minute, pulling one back to make it 2-1.
Then, just eight minutes later, Manuel Ugarte equalised with a brilliant volley from the edge of the box, sending United supporters into raptures and making it 2-2.
The final stages of the match were filled with drama, as Everton were awarded a penalty in the dying moments after Beto was brought down in the box. However, after a VAR review, the decision was overturned, and the penalty was not given.
United pushed for a winner but had to settle for a point in the end, while Everton will be disappointed not to claim all three points after their dominant first-half performance.
Despite being just one point behind Everton before the match, United are still struggling for form under head coach Ruben Amorim, having won only four of their 14 league games this season. However, the comeback from 2-0 down may provide a boost for the team as they look to turn their season around.
For Everton, it was a game of missed opportunities, but they remain unbeaten in their last five league matches, securing four wins in that run. They will look to continue their progress when they face their next opponents.
The match finished 2-2, with both teams having moments of brilliance, but ultimately unable to secure a win.
