Old Trafford was a cauldron of noise, neon and nerves as Manchester United and Everton locked horns in a crunch clash that could reshape the battle for a top-four finish. The Red Devils came out roaring, Bruno Fernandes pulling strings in midfield, Marcus Rashford zipping in behind the last line and Antony skewering in dangerous balls from the right. Everton, stubborn and street-smart, weathered the early storm and hit back through pace and a stubborn defense, leaving the stands on a knife-edge.

The opener arrived in spectacular fashion as United carved through the Toffees down the left. Rashford smashed home a precise finish after a scintillating move, sending the home crowd into raptures. But Everton struck back before the break, a neat header from a corner levelling things up and reminding everyone that this would be a fight to the final whistle. The stalemate at the break was a fair reflection of a fiercely contested 45 minutes.

The second half swung with intensity. United surged again, and a superb solo run from Antony ended with a clinical finish as he cut inside and flashed a shot past the keeper. The lead didn’t last long, though, as Everton were awarded a controversial penalty when a handball in the box sparked a VAR review, and Calvert-Lewin kept his cool to restore parity. The game raged on, with both sides pressing for a decisive edge and the crowd roaring every time the ball neared the goal.

As the clock ticked down, chances flew at both ends. Freedman in midfield for United and Iwobi for Everton traded clever passes, while goalkeepers produced sharp saves that kept the scoreboard balanced. In the end, the points were shared in a gritty, high-stakes duel that left both squads still dreaming of that coveted top-four slot. A draw at Old Trafford does little to settle the debate, but it does underline how tightly packed the race has become and how every point now carries a heavyweight worth.
