Manchester United almost got into another disaster on the road.
Manchester United drew 2-2 against Everton in the 26th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England, at 9:30 p.m. on the 22nd (Korea time). United couldn't escape from 15th place with only one point to settle for.
United opted for a 3-4-1-2 formation. Rasmus Hoylun, Joshua Zirkji, Bruno Fernandes, Patrick Dorgu, Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Licht, Harry Maefisher, Nusair Mazraoui and Andre Onana were selected.
Home team Everton picked a 4-2-3-1 formation. Betu, Jack Harrison, Abdullaye Durure, Yesfer Linström, Idrissa Gueye, James Garner, Vitali Miñolenko, Jared Branswaite, James Tacowski, Jake O'Brien and Jordan Pickford were among the starters.
Manchester United created the first chance. In the 12th minute of the first half, a space pass was connected to Dorgu. Dorgu pushed hard to the center, creating a shot opportunity for Hoyleun, but Pickford came out first and handled it.
Everton's first goal with a good atmosphere was scored. In the 19th minute of the first half, the ball went over to Everton while Manchester United defenders were scrambling to clear the header properly. Everton scored as Betu's finish in front of the net was lucky.
The atmosphere gradually moved over to Everton, and the gap widened. Everton's counterattack unfolded quickly in the 33rd minute of the first half. Harrison's shot in front of the net was blocked by Onana, but Onana's handling was unstable. At this time, Dukure appeared and finished with his head. United didn't even score a properly threatening shot in the first half.
In the second half, Manchester United tried to revive its activism, but failed to quell Everton's momentum. Manchester United also had difficulty moving the ball forward from the back. In the 17th minute of the second half, Manchester United made changes first by excluding Casemiro and putting in Alejandro Garnacho.
Everton have a chance to score. In the 20th minute of the second half, the cross came up properly to the gate. Dukure precisely hit the foot, but Onana saved Manchester United.
Coach Hu Beng Amorim made a bold decision. In the 25th minute of the second half, Chido Obi instead of Hoyleun and Lenny Yoro instead of Mazrau were put in.
Manchester United succeeded in the chase. In the 27th minute of the second half, Bruno properly deceived Pickford with an exquisite kick, narrowing the gap to one goal. Manchester United brought the game back to square one. It was Bruno's free kick again in the 34th minute of the second half. This time, Ugarte held the ball well that Everton's defense failed to clear properly and drilled Pickford with a powerful shot.
Manchester United began to throw an onslaught as they got into the atmosphere. Bruno's shot in the 44th minute of the second half was blocked by Pickford. United allowed a penalty just before the end of the game. It was determined that De Ligt and Maguire interfered with Ashleigh Young during the competition for the ball in the penalty box. The referee cancelled the penalty after an on-field review. Manchester United have come to life dramatically. I had to settle for one point.
