Manchester United had made their way to the blue part of Liverpool. Sunday’s game was the one United needed to win, after the loss to Hull City in the season opener and three points from two games. David Moyes himself had gone out and told the world how disappointed he was with the activity in the transfer market in recent days, where he now has only one pure striker in the squad. But what does it matter, when Moyes got a right-back who does the same job.
With a strong draw away to Bournemouth, then a strong home win against Crystal Palace, Everton stood with four out of a possible six points going into Sunday’s game against United. The first half ended goalless, but the second half was not many minutes old before Bryan Mbeumo narrowed the ball after playing his way past several Everton defenders.

Never underestimate Everton at home with David Moyes as coach. Tyrique George smashed in the near post to make it 1-1.
Now it was the Everton supporters who saw the opportunity to go for victory. Until Luke Shaw sent in a cross on the head of Benjamin Sesko, who headed in 1-2.

Done? Nope! In injury time, Ainsley Maitland-Niles tapped in from long range to make it 2-2. The full-back was signed at the end of the transfer window and played his first Everton minutes on Sunday. With this goal, Everton salvaged one point and are still undefeated after three games.
