Dominic Calvert-Lewin secured a dramatic draw for Everton in the fifth minute of stoppage time as they twice came from behind to hold Man United in a six-goal thriller at Old Trafford.
On the 63rd anniversary of the Munich air disaster, Scott McTominay's header seemed to have sealed a win that would have taken United level on points with City at the top of the Premier League.
The away side had already responded superbly to falling two behind before half-time on Saturday, Everton refused to give in.
United had the chances to put the game beyond Everton but the home side's defending grew desperate in the final moments.
Calvert-Lewin took advantage of weak defending from a Lucas Digne free-kick and he scored from close range.

What are United fans saying?
We looked great going forward but think we need to make a change within the back 5. #MUFC

The nonchalance of Bruno letting the ball go past him, then with the shot. Cantona-esque.

There were lots of positives from Manchester United's attacking performance.
A goal from Bruno Fernandes drew comparisons with a certain goal from Eric Cantona.

City extend their lead at the top.
United's dropped points allowed City the opportunity to extend their lead at the top.
They duly obliged and beat Liverpool 4-1.
A statement victory! 🔥
