Everton 1-1 United: On-fire Fernandes snatches draw after De Gea rookie howler

VAR came to Manchester United's rescue versus Everton after Bruno Fernandes had earlier struck to cancel out Dominic Calvert-Lewin's opener.

Fernandes got the better of Jordan Pickford with a long-range effort to cancel out Dominic Calvert-Lewin's opener, the in-form forward profiting from a poor De Gea clearance inside the opening 160 seconds.

Everton hit the post in the second half and thought they had won the contest in the second minute of added time when Calvert-Lewin's shot deflected in off Harry Maguire, but it was ruled out for offside by VAR and Ancelotti was shown a red for his protests.
