Story summary

Here's a summary of the news story:

Everton vs Manchester United ended in a 2-2 draw on Sunday, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles scoring a stunning stoppage-time equalizer to snatch a point for Everton and maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign. The match was an intense and dramatic encounter at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with both teams creating chances and exchanging leads.

United took the lead twice, first through Bryan Mbeumo's solo effort in the 46th minute, and then through Benjamin Sesko's header in the 88th minute, which seemed to have sealed a late victory for Manchester United. However, Tyrique George had equalized earlier with a powerful strike in the 83rd minute.

Maitland-Niles' goal was a moment of magic, coming from distance and into the top corner, to rescue a point for Everton and spark bedlam among the fans. The result will feel like two points dropped for United as they twice led at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

This is the second time this season that Manchester United's opponents have come back to draw with them at the same stadium, having also drawn 2-2 against Everton in April.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
