DAVID MOYES vowed to bring back the thrills when he returned to Goodison – but not even he imagined it would be quite like this. Two goals up, then two goals conceded…and an Everton penalty in the last of six added minutes which referee Andy Madley overturned after reviewing the video.

Some slapstick defending resulted in Beto firing in the opener, which had to be checked for several minutes by VAR. Abdoulaye Doucoure doubled the hosts' lead after heading in a rebound from a Jack Harrison effort, and Everton threatened to add more. Shortly after half-time Doucoure had an effort well saved by Andre Onana, as United appeared to be sleepwalking to full-time.

But out of nowhere they were back in the match after Bruno Fernandes fired in a free-kick, wrongfooting Jordan Pickford. United then levelled after another Fernandes free-kick bounced out to Manuel Ugarate, who took a touch on the edge of the box before firing the ball brilliantly into the bottom corner.

But Amorim's side almost threw away a point after referee Andy Madley pointed to the spot after Ashley Young went down in the area. The ref was advised to review the incident on the VAR monitor and he judged Young to have gone to ground too easily, so overturned his decision.
