Dramatic Comeback and Controversial Penalty Decision in Manchester United's Draw Against Everton
Manchester United staged a dramatic comeback to secure a 2-2 draw against Everton at Goodison Park, but the match was overshadowed by a controversial late penalty decision that was overturned by referee Andy Madley. Everton had taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the first half, with goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucouré, but United fought back in the second half with strikes from Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte.
The game’s defining moment came deep into stoppage time when Everton were awarded a penalty after Ashley Young went down in the box under challenges from Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt. However, after a VAR review, Madley overturned his initial decision, ruling that Young had exaggerated the contact. The decision left Everton manager David Moyes frustrated, as he believed his side deserved the chance to win the game from the spot.
United’s fightback was spearheaded by Fernandes, who scored a superb free-kick in the 72nd minute, and Ugarte, who equalised with a stunning volley from the edge of the box in the 80th minute. Despite the late drama, both sides had to settle for a point, leaving United in 15th place and Everton in 12th in the Premier League table.
Moyes praised his team’s performance but lamented the missed opportunity to secure all three points, while United manager Ruben Amorim admitted his side’s slow start was a recurring issue. The draw highlighted United’s ongoing struggles this season, with Amorim acknowledging the need for improvement if they are to climb the table.
