The Premier League match between Everton and Manchester United was filled with drama and controversy, particularly in the late stages of the game. Manchester United's late fightback was almost rendered redundant when referee Andrew Madley initially awarded Everton a 96th-minute penalty, only to overturn his decision after a video assistant referee review. The incident has sparked debate, with Everton manager David Moyes expressing his disappointment and bewilderment at the decision.

Everton had taken the lead in the first half, with Beto scoring his fifth goal in four games after United failed to clear a corner. The goal was initially subject to a VAR check for offside, but eventually stood. Abdoulaye Doucouré added a second for Everton, nodding home after a well-worked move. Manchester United's performance in the first half was dire, with the team showing little attacking intent or energy. However, the introduction of Alejandro Garnacho and Chidozie Obi improved their performance, and they began to sense an escape.

The turning point came when Bruno Fernandes curled in a 72nd-minute free-kick to reduce the arrears. United then levelled through Manuel Ugarte's first goal for the club, and the match was suddenly filled with tension and drama. In stoppage time, André Onana parried Idrissa Gueye's shot, and Ashley Young was prevented from reaching the rebound by Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire. De Ligt pulled Young's shirt, and Maguire grabbed him, prompting Madley to point to the spot. However, after a VAR review, Madley deemed that no foul had been committed, sparking controversy and debate.

The match highlights the frailties of Manchester United's performance, particularly in the first half. The team's defensive cohesion was lacking, and they were comfortably outplayed by their opponents. Everton, on the other hand, were able to dictate proceedings for almost 70 minutes, with their central midfield pairing of Gueye and James Garner outplaying their opposite numbers. The match also showcases the importance of VAR in the Premier League, with the technology playing a crucial role in the disputed penalty decision.

Here are the match scores and statistics:

  • Everton 2, Manchester United 2
  • Beto (Everton) - 5 goals in 4 games
  • Manuel Ugarte (Manchester United) - 1 goal
  • Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) - 1 goal, 1 assist
The result leaves both teams with plenty to think about, and the controversy surrounding the disallowed penalty is likely to continue in the coming days.
