February 22, (THEWILL) – Manchester United orchestrated a remarkable comeback against Everton, transforming a two-goal deficit into a 2-2 draw at Goodison Park during Saturday’s English Premier League encounter.
The result maintains both teams’ positions in the table while demonstrating the unpredictable nature of top-flight football in England.
Everton established their dominance early in the match, with Beto continuing his impressive scoring streak by finding the net in the 19th minute following a corner kick situation.
The home side strengthened their position before half-time through Abdoulaye Doucoure, who demonstrated swift reactions to convert Jack Harrison’s deflected attempt with a precise header beyond Andre Onana.
The momentum shifted significantly when Bruno Fernandes reduced the deficit through an expertly executed free kick with 20 minutes remaining.
The Portuguese midfielder’s strike initiated what would become a decisive period for Ruben Amorim’s squad, setting the stage for an intense conclusion to the match.
Manuel Ugarte brought the scores level eight minutes later, delivering an exceptional volley that left the Everton goalkeeper with no chance, allowing United to salvage something from what had initially appeared to be a difficult afternoon at Goodison Park.
The drama continued into stoppage time when referee Andy Madley initially awarded Everton a penalty following Ashley Young’s fall under pressure from Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire.
However, upon VAR review and consultation with the pitch-side monitor, Madley reversed his decision, ensuring the match concluded with honours even.
