Everton 1-1 Man United: Twitter Reacts As Fellaini's Mistake Cost The Red Devils Two Points 1

Manchester United’s hopes of a top four finish this term is fast fading away as they threw away a winning position in the dying minutes at Goodison Park to walk away with just a point.

The match was marred by some poor decisions from the referee early on. Gareth Barry did not receive any booking for arriving late on Zlatan Ibrahimovic and then Marcos Rojo received only a yellow card after his two-footed foul on Idriss Gueye. Both the teams were struggling to get going in the first half an hour as neither of them could build any clear-cut chance.

After the slow start, Zlatan Ibrahimovic finally opened the scoring when he lobbed the ball over the goalkeeper from outside the box. However, the goal could have been avoided had the Everton goalkeeper not made a poor judgement of charging outside of his box. Ander Herrera came agonisingly close to double his team’s lead but his shot hit the post. With only five minutes left in the game, Jose Mourinho, who was making a comeback to the dugout after serving a one-game ban, introduced Marouane Fellaini and the decision completely changed the course of the match. The Belgian international, who was making his 100th United appearance, fouled Idrissa Gueye and Leighton Baines confidently converted from the spot.

Jose Mourinho’s men have now only won two of their past 11 league matches. They are now nine points adrift of Manchester City in fourth place and 13 points shy of leaders, Chelsea.
