Everton picked up an impressive point at Old Trafford on Sunday as they held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw.
The Toffees did take the lead in the first-half as Victor Lindelof diverted Leighton Baines’ cross into his own net, but Mason Greenwood came off the bench to equalise for United.

READ EVERTON VERDICT
Everton had defended so stoutly throughout the match up until that point, as they allowed Greenwood far too much space on the edge of the box. He was wide open and when he received the ball no Everton players tried to close him down quickly enough, allowing him to find the bottom corner.
In regards to Pickford, whilst I can understand where Everton fans are coming from, it is still a tricky one for the England international. Greenwood hits it back across his body, rather than curling for the far corner, which means that Pickford is thrown off and has less time to react to the shot – leading to it creeping into the corner.
