Marouane Fellaini and Manchester United pay the penalty at Everton

The draw means United have closed the gap to fourth-placed Manchester City to nine points, although they have won only twice in the league since August.

Thriller: Bournemouth celebrate their incredible win over Liverpool. The collapse was sealed when Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius fumbled a shot in the third minute of injury time, gifting Nathan Ake the chance to grab the victor.

A late penalty from Leighton Baines rescued a point for Everton as Manchester United blew another three points.

Player ratingsEverton: Maarten Stekelenburg 5, Seamus Coleman 6, Ramiro Funes Mori 6, Ashley Williams 7, Leighton Baines 7, Gareth Barry 6, Idrissa Gueye 7, Tom Cleverley 5, Kevin Mirallas 7, Yannick Bolasie 5, Romelu Lukaku 5.

United picked up the pace in the second half and for the first twenty-five minutes, it looked as if the away side would grab a second, with Anthony Martial looking unsafe on the left and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who was a welcome addition to the starting lineup having not started a Premier League game since the 10th September, making some handsome runs off the ball. “2-0…” he concluded. “…and then goodbye”.

“I scored today but it only gave us one point”. “It’s not about how it looks”.

It was solid end to a match that started poorly for the Toffees, with the first half punctured by groans from the Goodison Park faithful as their side struggled to muster a single shot on target. The hosts were back in the ascendancy early in the second period, and should’ve drawn level within a few minutes.

Ake is on loan at Bournemouth from Chelsea.

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville branded Marouane Fellaini “idiotic” following his late blunder that denied Jose Mourinho’s men a win at Everton on Sunday.

Just minutes after being brought on to replace Mkhitaryan, the Belgian clumsily felled the lively Idrissa Gueye in the box.

But what did Mourinho think of Felliani’s foul for the penalty?

Stekelenburg raced from his goal-line to try and close down Martial’s hopeful long ball from United’s half two minutes before the interval – Ibrahimovic had turned his marker and was first to the ball, lobbing the goalkeeper with an impudent long-range volley. The ball bounced up onto the crossbar, came down onto the post and landed on the goal-line before spinning back over the line. Ander Herrera hit the post against Everton at a crucial stage in the game. He’s come on to actually see a game out. “So we have phenomenal performances and a very solid performance as a team”.

If you come to Goodison Park and you get a point in other circumstances I don’t think it’s a bad result because it’s a hard place to play, but we were the best team by far so the point is not the point that gives us what we deserve.
