Defensive midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles marked his Everton debut by scoring a dramatic 96th-minute equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw against Manchester United.
The former Arsenal defender lasered a long-range curling strike into the top corner with virtually the final kick of the match, extending Everton’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season and maintaining a one-point lead over United.
United had taken the lead early in the second half through Bryan Mbeumo before Everton equaliser Tyrique George restored parity with seven minutes remaining.
Substitute Benjamin Sesko then restored United’s lead with a diving header from a Luke Shaw cross.
However, United failed to manage the closing moments, leaving manager Michael Carrick bitterly disappointed after conceding two goals for the third consecutive league game.

The result provided temporary relief for Everton manager David Moyes following a chaotic transfer deadline day.
The club failed to secure Monaco striker Folarin Balogun after a failed medical, leaving Moyes with just 18 outfield players and one natural striker after selling Iliman Ndiaye and Beto.
Despite the squad shortage, the home crowd drew energy from Jack Grealish’s debut off the bench, culminating in Maitland-Niles’s late heroics.
