Manchester United Stages Comeback in Tense Everton Match

Manchester United Stages Comeback in Tense Everton Match

Manchester United's Tactical Comeback at Goodison Park

Manchester United's visit to Goodison Park turned into an unforgettable match as they battled back from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 against Everton. The clash marked their last encounter at this historic ground, with the Toffees eyeing a future move to Bramley-Moore Dock. In the first half, Everton's aggressive play paid off with two goals, capitalizing on United's defensive errors during set-pieces.

Beto opened the score with a precise header from a 19th-minute corner kick. The goal stood despite an offside scare, thanks to VAR's intervention. Doucoure extended the lead with a sharp header, seizing the rebound from a Jack Harrison attempt. Manchester United failed to make their mark in the opening 45 minutes, managing only one shot on target just before the break.

Second Half Drama and Controversial VAR Decisions

Second Half Drama and Controversial VAR Decisions

The second half saw a revitalized United. Bruno Fernandes led the comeback charge, curling in a superb free-kick after a VAR review deemed it worthy. This sparked new life into United's play. Just eight minutes later, Manuel Ugarte volleyed the ball into the net following a scrambled set-piece, marking his first goal for the club and leveling the score.

However, the game nearly swung in Everton's favor during stoppage time with a penalty awarded for a supposed foul by Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire on Ashley Young. The drama heightened as VAR intervened again, leading referee Andy Madley to retract the penalty due to insufficient contact and Young's somewhat theatrical fall.

Beto's influence for Everton was evident, continuing his impressive form under manager David Moyes. Meanwhile, United still struggles with set-piece defending, an issue that was exploited twice in this match. The draw leaves Everton sitting in 12th place while Manchester United remains at 15th, showing some cracks but also promising resilience.
