LIVERPOOL, England (AFP) — Manchester United fought back from a two-goal deficit to secure a dramatic 2-2 draw against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday. Goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure put Everton 2-0 up inside 33 minutes, leaving United facing a potential ninth defeat in their last 13 league games. However, a late brace inspired by Bruno Fernandes, including a free-kick and an assist for Manuel Ugarte’s first United goal, salvaged a point for the visitors. Everton’s resurgence under manager David Moyes continued, with the Toffees taking 14 points from their last six games, solidifying their Premier League status. A late penalty decision for Everton was overturned by VAR after a review, sparing Manchester United further embarrassment. The result leaves Everton 12th in the table, while United remain in 15th. The match was notable for Everton’s strong performance and United’s reliance on Fernandes’ individual brilliance to avoid another damaging defeat.
