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.

Jarrad Branthwaite saw drilled a stoppage-time effort saved before a break that United returned from flying. Mbeumo brilliantly drove in from the right flank, skipping between two napping Everton players before sending a low left-footed strike from the edge of the box skipping past Jordan Pickford in the 46th minute.

Claims (15 extracted, 0 hedged)

Deadline day ended in disappointment for fans of both clubs but the Toffees’ inaction was particularly concerning given Tuesday’s botched business left them with a threadbare squad and an unhappy manager. asserted

business → end → squad

David Moyes admitted he had “to live with disappointments” and called for Everton players to “muck in”, but Sunday looked set to end in further frustration after substitute Benjamin Sesko’s 88th-minute header put United on course for a late victory. asserted

header → admit → victory

Tyrique George’s thunderous strike had cancelled out a fine Bryan Mbeumo effort moments earlier but the Slovenia international would not prove United’s match-winning substitute for the second time at Hill Dickinson Stadium this year. asserted

international → cancel → Stadium

Instead, deadline-day acquisition Maitland-Niles came off the bench to rifle home from distance to snatch a dramatic late point and spark bedlam. asserted

Niles → come → bedlam

Bruno Fernandes rattled the crossbar early on with a volley after Mbeumo cushioned a cross from Luke Shaw – who was linking up well with Marcus Rashford – but United largely bossed first half play without penetration. asserted

United → rattle → penetration

Read More Matheus Cunha drilled over after Rashford brilliantly made space to cutback but lifeless Everton so nearly took the lead late as Thierno Barry crashed a header just over after losing Harry Maguire. asserted

Barry → read → Maguire

Mbeumo → drill → minute

The Everton roar that seen the side off at the break was replaced by quiet resignation until Barry turned into space to get away a shot that Shaw blocked brilliantly before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s under-hit follow-up. asserted

Shaw → see → up

But groans were still more commonplace than cheers and James Tarkowski’s crunching challenge as Cunha prepared to pull the trigger after Rashford’s clever backheel stopped them conceding again. asserted

them → crunch → trigger

Dewsbury-Hall was trying to eke out a leveller and Moyes turned to deadline-day arrival Jack Grealish, who was greeted by United chants of “City reject”. asserted

who → try → chants

Mbeumo saw an effort blocked but United were offering little, with Lammens all too easily beaten in the 83rd minute. asserted

Lammens → see → minute

Lisandro Martinez’s poor touch on the edge of his box was lapped up and summer signing Hayden Hackney played wide to George, who made space to rifle a shot from a narrow angle into the top right corner. asserted

who → lap → corner

More drama soon followed and Sesko looked to have got United out of jail in the 88th minute. asserted

Sesko → follow → minute

Fernandes played onto the overlapping Shaw, whose clipped cross was met with a header that Pickford failed to claw out. asserted

Pickford → play → that

United just needed to hold out against a side that had lost key man James Garner to injury but his replacement would send Evertonians wild in the sixth minute of stoppage time. asserted

replacement → need → time
