Manchester United, Everton draw amid VAR controversy

In a dramatic Premier League match, Manchester United came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Everton after being denied a last-minute penalty through VAR intervention. Everton initially led 2-0 with goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure, but United's Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte equalized in the second half. The match saw controversy as Everton was awarded a stoppage-time penalty, which was overturned after VAR reviewed the footage, leading to criticism from former referee Mark Halsey who called the VAR decision 'embarrassing.' United manager Ruben Amorim described the overturned penalty as 'soft,' while Everton's David Moyes expressed frustration over the officiating. The draw leaves Everton in 12th and United struggling in 15th place, highlighting United's ongoing difficulties this season. Moyes, who has helped Everton stabilize since his return, faced the familiar challenge of competing against his former club.
