How the action took place
The two managers opted for a more relaxed dress for the early kick -off, with Moyes wearing a black sweater, while Morim sports a rather retro hooded sweatshirt.
But visitors seemed far from the United side of the old AS, of offer, Everton looked very like the fit team. Their high energetic pressure permanently puts a united side of confidence under increasing pressure.
And the tuffes’ hassles have almost poured dividends in five minutes when Everton dispossessed United on the edge of their own box only for the head lady of Beto was directly in Andana.
Despite the vulnerable air, the side of Amorim then got closer when Patrick Dorgu reduced the balloon to Rasmus Hojlund after a united incisive movement, but his tip of toe was saved by Jordan Pickford.
At 19 minutes, however, it was the resurgent hosts who hit first, Beto, launching the ball in the net after United has failed to get rid of a corner.
Amorim has reduced a silhouette, notably frustrated on the key line with United again in search of another difficult afternoon.

And, of course, things went from bad to worse for United when Doucoure doubled the advance for the dominant toftes when he reacted the fastest after Onana bets the efforts of Jack Harrison.
Everton would have done three years in the first half, if it was not to ourselves Mazraoui, who blocked the bottom of Doucoure with Beto ready to type at home.
United needed their own resurgence if they had to have a hope of recovering something from the game.
Although there was an improvement after the break, the Amorim team continued to offer little in the future, with Hojlund, who failed to find the net in 16 games, an almost anonymous figure .
The hosts, on the other hand, had been hungry for a third party. The impressive Doucoure almost put the game in bed when its volley was saved brilliantly by Onana.
But just as United seemed to be on the strings, they were given a life buoy when Fernandes, who had found himself further as a deep playmaker, sent a superb free kick of 20 yards in the corner more distant.

Suddenly it was the game. And, eight minutes later, everything was square when the powerful strike from Ugarte beat Pickford at full trunction.
What seemed a highly improbable scenario at halftime had happened. With 10 minutes of the match to play, he was now united at the driving headquarters.
But there must have been more drama in this meeting upside down on the Merseyside. Beto had a different chance before Everton initially received a penalty when the replacement Ashley Young fell into the box.
No penalty – drama at the end !!!

Referee Andy Madley underlined the place, but, after a long Var check, his decision was canceled, to the Dam of Moyes.
For United and Amorim, the result will not do much to mitigate the assembly of the pressure on the Portuguese manager. For Everton, despite the controversy surrounding the overturned kick, he will feel that two points have dropped.
