00:00Manchester United came from behind to secure a dramatic 2-1 draw with Everton on their final visit to Goodison Park.

00:10Truth be told, United were dreadful for much of the match. Arguably their worst performance of the entire Premier League season.

00:17Their worst performance under Ruben Amiran for about 60-70 minutes of the game.

00:22Everton thoroughly deserved to go in 2-0 up at half-time to Curry and Beto with the goals for David Moyes' side.

00:29But they paid the price for not killing the game off. Everton had chances.

00:35They almost got lulled into a false sense of security given just how bad United were.

00:39It could have been 2-0 at half-time, it could have been 3-0, it could have been 4-0.

00:44But as long as United stayed within touching distance, they always had a chance of coming back into this one.

00:50Ruben Amiran didn't make changes at half-time, but it wasn't long before he called to his bench.

00:55Alejandro Garnaccio, Lenny Yoro and Chido Obi all featured. United rallied and they got a goal out of nowhere.

01:02Bruno Fernandes fired a free kick that wrong-footed Jordan Pickford left him.

01:07He just stood still as the ball rustled in the far corner and United pushed them to try and get that equalising goal.

01:14It was a free kick from Fernandes, went towards the back post, was headed back down to Manuel Agarte on the edge of the box.

01:20He fired a stunning shot in to make it 2-2.

01:23At that point, the game felt like it could have gone either way. United pushed men forward, there were a few openings.

01:28Joshua Zirkzee fired a tame effort at Pickford, but there was no real chance for United to go and win the game.

01:34And then, right at the death, it looked like Everton would do so themselves.

01:38A penalty kick was initially awarded and Ashley Young went down the box under pressure from Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire.

01:44But after a lengthy, controversial VAR check, referee Andrew Madley finally decided that there was no foul in the first place

01:52and the play could continue.

01:54It meant that United survived, they got the 2-0 draw, but what can't be ignored is just how bad they were.

02:00They were certainly positive to take from the manner in which United fought back to get a point,

02:04but it can't be ignored just how bad they were.

02:06Casemiro was dreadful, Bruno Fernandes was awful for about 70 minutes and inspired them to get a result themselves.

02:13The two centre-backs, calamitous defending to allow Everton to score two goals.

02:17Onana with a mixed bag, ending that goal as well.

02:21Dorgu was an encouragement, there was a few encouragements in terms of, you know,

02:25Igarti got better as well when he was playing alongside Bruno Fernandes.

02:29But Casemiro, he was a last resort against Tottenham, he was abysmal against Goodison Park.

02:36It feels pointless talking about chances of United putting this season back on track.

02:41There have been so many false dawns, so many missed opportunities for United to go ahead and fix their issues this season.

02:47But they've drawn 2-1 on their final visit to Goodison Park.

02:50They were abysmal for 70 minutes, they were decent for 15 and they still nearly left here without anything to show for it.

02:57Everton, the better team, but United got the point that they need.

03:00It means that they avoid a 13th Premier League defeat of the season.

03:03They are still languishing just above the relegation zone, although they won't go down the seat,

03:08because there are teams, can you believe it or not, who are worse than them.

03:11Full time from Goodison, for the final time, Everton 2, Manchester United 2.
