Manchester United failed to secure victory over Everton in the Premier League, drawing after twice taking the lead in the match.

The game, played on September 6 as part of matchday 3 of the 2026/27 season, ended level after Everton scored a stunning equalizer deep into stoppage time.

The goal arrived in the 90+6th minute, meaning six minutes had been added to the end of normal play.

Described as a golazo — a term used for an especially spectacular goal — the strike denied Manchester United a much-needed win.

United had gone ahead twice during the match, showing they were able to create scoring chances against Everton.

However, their inability to protect either lead ultimately cost them the three points that come with a victory.

The result was instead a draw, meaning both sides took a single point from the encounter.

For Manchester United, the outcome will raise fresh questions about their defensive resilience late in matches.

Twice surrendering an advantage suggests a pattern that manager and players may need to address in coming fixtures.

Everton, on the other hand, will take confidence from their ability to fight back and snatch a point in the dying moments.

The dramatic finish is likely to be remembered as one of the highlights of the early Premier League season.

This match forms part of the wider 2026/27 Premier League campaign, which includes schedules, results, standings, and scoring rankings updated throughout the season.

Both clubs will now turn their attention to upcoming fixtures as they look to build on, or recover from, this result.

Further coverage of Premier League matches, including Japanese players competing in the league and transfer news, is expected to follow as the season progresses.
