Manchester United managed a dramatic 2-2 draw against Everton after overcoming a two-goal deficit and benefiting from a crucial last-minute video-review decision in their Premier League clash at Goodison Park.
Manuel Ugarte, a Uruguay midfielder, scored an 80th-minute equalizer, his first club goal in four years, shortly after Bruno Fernandes began United's fightback with a skillfully executed free kick. This prevented what could have been a third consecutive loss for United under manager Ruben Amorim.
Everton's strong first-half performance, supported by goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure, underscored the challenge for United. A controversial penalty call against Harry Maguire was overturned after a video review, allowing United a sharing of the spoils. Despite the rally, United remains languishing in 15th place, while Everton continues its unbeaten streak under former United manager David Moyes.
