00:00Manchester United came from behind to secure a dramatic 2-1 draw with Everton on their final visit to Goodison Park.
00:10Truth be told, United were dreadful for much of the match. Arguably their worst performance of the entire Premier League season.
00:17Their worst performance under Ruben Amiran for about 60-70 minutes of the game.
00:22Everton thoroughly deserved to go in 2-0 up at half-time to Curry and Beto with the goals for David Moyes' side.
00:29But they paid the price for not killing the game off. Everton had chances.
00:35They almost got lulled into a false sense of security given just how bad United were.
00:39It could have been 2-0 at half-time, it could have been 3-0, it could have been 4-0.
00:44But as long as United stayed within touching distance, they always had a chance of coming back into this one.
00:50Ruben Amiran didn't make changes at half-time, but it wasn't long before he called to his bench.
00:55Alejandro Garnaccio, Lenny Yoro and Chido Obi all featured. United rallied and they got a goal out of nowhere.
01:02Bruno Fernandes fired a free kick that wrong-footed Jordan Pickford left him.
01:07He just stood still as the ball rustled in the far corner and United pushed them to try and get that equalising goal.
01:14It was a free kick from Fernandes, went towards the back post, was headed back down to Manuel Agarte on the edge of the box.
01:20He fired a stunning shot in to make it 2-2.
01:23At that point, the game felt like it could have gone either way. United pushed men forward, there were a few openings.
01:28Joshua Zirkzee fired a tame effort at Pickford, but there was no real chance for United to go and win the game.
01:34And then, right at the death, it looked like Everton would do so themselves.
01:38A penalty kick was initially awarded and Ashley Young went down the box under pressure from Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire.
01:44But after a lengthy, controversial VAR check, referee Andrew Madley finally decided that there was no foul in the first place
01:52and the play could continue.
01:54It meant that United survived, they got the 2-0 draw, but what can't be ignored is just how bad they were.
02:00They were certainly positive to take from the manner in which United fought back to get a point,
02:04but it can't be ignored just how bad they were.
02:06Casemiro was dreadful, Bruno Fernandes was awful for about 70 minutes and inspired them to get a result themselves.
02:13The two centre-backs, calamitous defending to allow Everton to score two goals.
02:17Onana with a mixed bag, ending that goal as well.
02:21Dorgu was an encouragement, there was a few encouragements in terms of, you know,
02:25Igarti got better as well when he was playing alongside Bruno Fernandes.
02:29But Casemiro, he was a last resort against Tottenham, he was abysmal against Goodison Park.
02:36It feels pointless talking about chances of United putting this season back on track.
02:41There have been so many false dawns, so many missed opportunities for United to go ahead and fix their issues this season.
02:47But they've drawn 2-1 on their final visit to Goodison Park.
02:50They were abysmal for 70 minutes, they were decent for 15 and they still nearly left here without anything to show for it.
02:57Everton, the better team, but United got the point that they need.
03:00It means that they avoid a 13th Premier League defeat of the season.
03:03They are still languishing just above the relegation zone, although they won't go down the seat,
03:08because there are teams, can you believe it or not, who are worse than them.
03:11Full time from Goodison, for the final time, Everton 2, Manchester United 2.
