Man United Stun Everton With Late Comeback In Thrilling 2-2 Draw

Manchester United staged a dramatic late comeback to snatch a 2-2 draw against Everton at Goodison Park, avoiding what seemed like an inevitable defeat after a dismal first half.

Everton, under the returning David Moyes, dominated the opening 45 minutes, punishing United’s defensive lapses.

Beto opened the scoring in the 19th minute, capitalizing on a goalmouth scramble to net his fifth goal under Moyes.

Moments later, Abdoulaye Doucoure outmuscled Harry Maguire to head home after Jack Harrison’s shot was parried by Andre Onana, doubling Everton’s lead.

United looked lost and outclassed until Bruno Fernandes sparked life into the match with a perfectly placed free-kick in the 72nd minute.

The comeback was completed just eight minutes later when Manuel Ugarte rifled home a powerful strike, silencing the Everton crowd.

The drama didn’t end there. Deep into stoppage time, referee Andrew Madley awarded Everton a penalty after Ashley Young tumbled under Maguire’s challenge.

However, VAR intervened, overturning the decision and allowing United to escape with a point.

For United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, the result provided some relief, avoiding what would have been a ninth league defeat in just 13 matches.
