Everton vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result as late Everton penalty is overturned

Everton 2-2 Manchester United: Ashley Young went to ground under the challenge of Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire but a penalty was overturned

'This feels close to defeat' - mixed emotions for Moyes after United draw

Everton were denied a last-gasp penalty as Manchester United fought from behind to claim a draw in a dramatic Premier League clash at Goodison Park.

Everton, who led by two goals at half-time only for United to draw level, were awarded a penalty deep in stoppage time as Ashley Young went down in the box.

But referee Andrew Madley overturned his decision after an on-field review, ruling that Young had thrown himself to the ground under the challenge of Matthijs de Ligt.

Everton had appeared to be continuing their resurgence under David Moyes as goals from striker Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure fired the Toffees into a deserved half-time lead.

But as United looked to be slipping to a third defeat in a row, captain Bruno Fernandes stepped up to curl a free-kick past Jordan Pickford and give the visitors late hope.

Manuel Ugarte then found the equaliser as he smashed in a volley from the edge of the box, and United finished the stronger side as Pickford tipped over a Fernandes shot.

And while United remain 15th in the table, behind 12th-placed Everton, the hosts will feel they should have had an opportunity to take all three points on a dramatic afternoon.

Good morning

Everton host Manchester United in the Premier League’s early kick-off, with the visitors desperately hoping that this match can kickstart a bid to salvage their season.

Ruben Amorim’s side have fallen to 15th since the Portuguese took over, with just four wins from 14 league games, and news of injuries to Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo have further compounded issues.

Contrastingly, Everton have made a return to form since David Moyes re-joined the club in January, with the Toffees now 13 points above the relegation zone with 13 points from their last six.

Everton currently sit one point above United and could move four clear of the Red Devils with a win, and while it matters little in the grand scheme of the season, it would be another fine result in the Merseyside club’s protracted farewell to Goodison Park.
