Everton 2-2 Manchester United: three goals from the 83rd minute

Key numbers

  • 2 goals from 3 shots on target for United
  • Three subs involved in the last three goals
  • After the match: Everton 8th, United 11th

Everton trailed until the 83rd minute

The first half passed without a goal. Bryan Mbeumo broke the deadlock in the 46th minute from a Kobbie Mainoo assist, and Everton were left chasing the game until Tyrique George levelled in the 83rd minute. Two more goals followed before full-time.

Everton had the shots, United the finishing

Everton fired 18 shots, most of them from inside the box, yet their xG per shot was only 0.06. They found space but rarely a clean chance. United, by contrast, scored with two of their three shots on target and turned 0.69 xG into a pair of goals.

Substitutes touched every late goal

Each of the final three goals involved a replacement. Hayden Hackney set up George's equaliser, Benjamin Šeško came on and scored in the 88th minute, and Ainsley Maitland-Niles came off the bench to equalise in the 90th.

Maitland-Niles cancelled out Šeško's goal

Šeško's strike, set up by Luke Shaw, turned 1-1 into 1-2 and was worth +1.8 FN xPts to United. Maitland-Niles's equaliser handed back +1.0 almost at once. After the match Everton sit eighth on five points, with United 11th on four.

Player of the match
Tyrique George 8.2Dominant

He scored the equaliser and added three key passes and four successful dribbles from five.

George collected most of his FN Score through attacking work, and he also won seven of 12 duels and drew three fouls. His 83rd-minute goal cut Everton's deficit and started the late fightback. That meant Everton were still in the match when the stoppage-time equaliser arrived.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
