David Moyes: "We won't complain too much about it"

“I think it should have been more,” says Everton’s manager of his side’s return of one point from the game. “When we were 2-0 up, we had chances to make it 3-0. We were up against a good side, I know they are not in a good place in the table. We did as well as we could do.”

On the penalty decision being overturned: “I thought Ashley Young’s jersey is undoubtedly pulled,” he says. “I thought the on-field decision was correct and I was surprised that the referee was sent to VAR. It went against us today but we won’t complain too much about it. That decision went against us.”

On his team’s performance: “We lost two points and gave away two poor goals but we played well in front of the crowd and overall I’m really pleased. Suddenly people are looking at Everton a bit. More points, new stadium, hopefully, that will be in the Premier League.”

Match report: “A rousing fightback does not camouflage the extent to which Ruben Amorim and Manchester United were reprieved,” writes Andy Hunter from Goodison Park. “The visitors recovered from two goals down to salvage a point against in-form Everton, but only after a penalty awarded to David Moyes’ team was controversially overturned in the 96th minute.”
