After leaving Wayne Rooney off the roster for the match today versus Everton, the Red Devils had no problem scoring, putting the ball in the net three times. Defense is a different story all together.
Spotting Man U a 3-1 lead 90 minutes in, Everton scored two goals in stoppage time pulling out an improbable draw and getting one point from the Devils. Steven Pinnear started the scoring with a goal in the 39th minute and getting additions from Australian Tim Cahill and Spaniard Mikel Arteta for the injury time goals.
Everton boss David Moyes was left fuming at the end when referee Martin Atkinson blew the full-time whistle just as his team were on the counter-attack.
"There's always ifs and buts,'' Cahill said. "It would have been nice for a bit of commonsense at the end, to see whether (Edwin) Van der Sar would have saved it or whether we would have scored, but it happens.''
Goalkeeper Tim Howard pulled off a string of stunning saves against his former club and was delighted with the fighting spirit showed by his team.
"The first half we dominated and we should have went in 1-0. Obviously they got the goal and in the second half they were powerful and went over the top of us. But we had spirit and we had fight and we got the point which was important.''

Everton:
Steven Pienaar (39)
Tim Cahill (90)
