Manchester United continued their inconsistent run in the Premier League after a 1-1 draw with Everton at Goodison Park.

Coach Jose Mourinho and midfielder Paul Pogba returned after a one-match suspension. Meanwhile, new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan continued to have his first official match when replacing Juan Mata on the right wing, pushing the Spanish midfielder to the bench.

The Red Devils started the match cautiously at Goodison Park. Both Everton and MU fought fiercely in the opening minutes. However, in reality, the home team had more dangerous opportunities. Unfortunately, the final shots were quite inaccurate.

Meanwhile, MU continued to play lurking, looking for counter-attack opportunities. Marcos Rojo was almost sent off for a two-footed tackle on Gueye. Luckily, the Argentine only received a yellow card. Both teams played quite aggressively.

The surprise happened in the 42nd minute when Martial had a beautiful opening pass for Ibrahimovic. The Swedish striker delicately chipped the ball over goalkeeper Stekelenburg to open the score. The first half ended with a big advantage for MU.

In the second half, Mourinho's team took the initiative to play slowly, retreating deep to preserve the result. However, MU almost increased the score to 2-0 when Herrera's shot hit the post. Meanwhile, Everton did not pose much danger to MU's defense, Lukaku appeared extremely isolated.

The turning point of the match came in the 89th minute when Fellaini fouled an Everton player in the penalty area. The referee immediately awarded the home team a penalty kick. Leighton Baines equalized for Everton.

In the remaining minutes, the away team tried their best but could not overcome the solid blue wall and had to accept a draw at Goodison Park.
