Ainsley Maitland-Niles rescued Everton on his debut, scoring from distance deep in stoppage time to secure a 2-2 draw against Manchester United.
Everton had appeared to be heading for defeat when Benjamin Sesko put United ahead with an 88th-minute header. Maitland-Niles, a deadline-day signing who had come off the bench, struck late to send the home crowd into wild celebrations at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
to live with disappointments
United had taken the lead earlier through Bryan Mbeumo before Tyrique George restored parity for Everton. Sesko’s late goal looked set to settle the match, but Maitland-Niles denied Manchester United the win.
The point offered relief to Everton after a frustrating transfer deadline day. Manager David Moyes had admitted he had “to live with disappointments” and urged his players to “muck in” after the club failed to strengthen as planned. United were left with a point after conceding in stoppage time.
