An evening to forget at the Goodison


Everton hosted Manchester United at the Goodison park where they had always struggled for pounts despite their recent 3-0 in the Louis van Gaal era. Ronald Koemans side was strong and were reluctant to give amy points away.
On the other hand, United came in from a 4-1 at home against West Ham in the EFL Cup but were to be without Wayne Rooney who was suspended for the Red Devils.
The lineup saw Mikhitaryan and Martial both start, Zlatan upfront behind him was Pogba, Carrick and Herrera in the midfield and the usual back four Jones Rojo Darmian and Valencia, De Gea in goal.
The match saw the return of Eric Bailly, who had recovered from an ankle injury but remained an unused sub.
Zlatan opened the scoring with a remarkable goal which was later confirmed by the referee after using the goal line technology as the ball crossed over the line.
United were in the lead till the 88th minute when midfield Marouane Fellaini was brought on for Henrikh Mikhitaryan and gave away a penalty after a clunsy tackle on Gueye. Leighton Baines scored from the spot and brought the Toffees level. The match ended in a 1-1 draw as United remained in 6th place with West Brom lurking behind.
What does this match mean for the Belgian midfielder? Have we seen the end of his Manchester United career?
