Manchester United failed to run home with all three (3) points after finishing 2-2 in the Premier League match against Everton on Sunday 6 September, 2026 at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool.
English defensive midfielder, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, netted in stoppage time to restore parity for the home side and share points on Sunday afternoon. It was the Englishman’s debut for the Toffees.
Michael Carrick’s Manchester United went in front in the 46th minute after Cameroon forward, Bryan Mbeumo, converted Konnie Mainoo’s assist, but, the hosts levelled in the 83rd minute through Tyrique George’s thunderous strike.
Five (5) minutes later, Benjamin Sesko restored Man United in front with the second after defender, Luke Shaw, had provided.
United thought it was over after Sesko’s header until the 6th minute of additional time when Maitland-Niles levelled for Everton.
Maitland-Niles, a deadline day addition to the Everton squad, came off the bench to rifle home from distance to grab a dramatic late point for the Toffees.
Marcus Rashford was excellent for the Reds as his moves were causing problems down the right of Everton, with the English forward frequently finding space against temporary right-back Merlin Rohl.
Everton’s best chance of the first half came in the 43rd minute when Rohl crossed towards the far post and Beto, who was left unmarked, headed just over.
The Toffees pressured their visitors after United had taken the lead through Mbeumo, and it paid off late, with seven (7) minutes to go, when George equalized.
George, a former juvenile player of Chelsea, charged into the box and fired a powerful finish into the top-right corner for his first Everton goal.
