Everton snatched a dramatic 2-2 draw against Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles scoring a stunning 95th-minute equaliser on his debut to deny the visitors what would have been their first away victory of the campaign.

All four goals arrived in a pulsating second half. Bryan Mbeumo struck within 61 seconds of the restart — a solo effort of the highest quality — to put Manchester United ahead. Benjamin Sesko then headed the visitors back in front in the 88th minute, only for Maitland-Niles to produce a remarkable finish deep into stoppage time to earn Everton a share of the spoils.

George fires Everton level

Between those two Manchester United goals, Tyrique George delivered a stunning response, beating goalkeeper Senne Lammens with a ferocious strike at his near post in the 83rd minute to level matters for the first time.

George and Maitland-Niles both joined Everton this summer and have made an immediate impression — two signings that look increasingly astute despite what Jamie Carragher described as a "disastrous" transfer window for the club.

Barry toils without reward

Everton's attacking situation is precarious: Thierno Barry, 23, was the sole recognised striker available to manager David Moyes. Barry generated more expected goals than any other player on the pitch but could not manage a single effort on target. In the end, his side found a way without him converting.

The introduction of Jack Grealish from the bench in the second half also made a telling contribution to Everton's revival, injecting creativity at a moment when the hosts needed it most.

Moyes' squad may be thin in depth, but Sunday's result demonstrated it is not short of spirit — nor, it turns out, of goalscorers.
