Deadline day may have left Everton fans feeling disillusioned, but the side is four games into the season and remains unbeaten, nine goals scored, including two in added time to secure a point. After what was a chaotic close to the transfer window, even by the Toffees' own standards, the performance against Manchester United ironically saw the summer signings playing a key role in the fight. Jack Grealish and Hayden Hackney came on from the bench to turn the game on its head, Tyrique George scored to equalise before the visitors went back in front, and it was Ainsley Maitland-Niles with a stunning strike to secure the draw in the final few seconds.
The Devils' Advocate podcast co-host Joe McGrath says head coach Michael Carrick looked like a fan after Manchester United conceded in the final seconds to draw 2-2 at Everton on Sunday. It has been a mixed campaign so far for United supporters, who have watched their team put five goals past Ipswich Town at Old Trafford but also lose at Hull City and let two points slip away at Hill Dickinson Stadium courtesy of Ainsley Maitland-Niles' stunning stoppage-time strike.
Sunderland winger Malick Fofana and left-back Dayann Methalie could make their starting debuts against Hull City in Tuesday's Carabao Cup third-round tie. Deadline-day signing Fofana came off the bench in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Brentford and played a role in Enzo le Fee's equaliser. "It's a good opportunity to give minutes in a competitive game, which is very positive," said manager Regis le Bris.
