Everton saw a penalty price in injury time turned controversial following a Var check after Bruno Fernandes inspired Manchester United to shoot 2-2 at Goodison Park.
The united skipper had marked a free kick and given another move, Manuel Ugarte slam in a late equalizer – but it seemed that Everton would have the chance to regain the head when referee Andy Madley has pointed out the point of pointing three minutes on stop time stop.
Ashley Young had dropped to the ground after Matthijs de Ligt seemed to pull his shirt and Harry Maguire put his hand – but Var Matt Donohue sent the referee to the screen.
The objective of the Pitch check seemed to be on Maguire’s contact rather than the Pull and Madley shirt decided to reverse its decision.
“There is a slight contact, the least, but [Young] gathered his feet and the way he fell does not correspond to the contact – the correct call, “said Mike Dean in the Savice on Saturday studio.
He crowned an ultimately frustrating afternoon for Everton, who looked good on the right track for an impressive victory at the break.
Beto, rejuvenated under the former boss of United, Moyes, continued his sequence of incredible score by slamming in his fifth goal in four first League games when United did not manage to release a corner. He had only scored four in his previous 44 high -flying games.
It was the 11th time that United has conceded in an angle situation of the league this season, but such is their extent of problems at the moment, they have been sculpted in the open game for the second, with Abdoulaye Doucoure – another Player ignited by the return of Moyes to Goodison – finally exceed Harry Maguire to head in the rebound in the shot of Jack Harrison.
The pair almost combined at halftime, with Osesir Mazraoui who has just passed to prevent the Doucoure cross from reaching the bare.
There was far from the same level of threat to the other end – United scored only once in the first half of their 17 previous games. They did not succeed in the target in the first 45 on Saturday. They did not succeed at all a shot before the 42nd minute.

The second half brought the same thing, Andre Onana before saving Doucoure and United in short of ideas. But Doucoure handball of a free kick allowed Fernandes to take another position from one better position and when he caught Jordan Pickford, the mood has changed, with the level of Ugarte following a short time after .
Before the end of the penalty drama, Beto and Fernandes have almost winning it, but these parts remain separated by a point, with Everton in 12th and United still in 15th before the kick -off of 3 p.m.
