Everton hero hits back over VAR penalty drama as stirring speech delivered after final whistle

Despite racing into a 2-0 half-time lead with another dominant first half performance at Goodison Park, Everton were denied the chance of another victory under David Moyes as Manchester United fought back after the break and an on-field decision to award the hosts a stoppage time penalty was overturned. Here’s a look back at some potential moments missed from another dramatic encounter under the Blues’ returning manager in the final season at the Grand Old Lady.
When coming back to Goodison Park last month, the returning Blues boss declared this was a different David Moyes and a different Everton. The Scot remarked that he was of course older and hopefully wiser and the latter observation was on display here.

Even before kick-off, Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim acknowledged that Moyes is doing a better job than him and the home manager’s tactics worked a treat for the first three-quarters of this contest with the visitors being run ragged before Bruno Fernandes’ free kick offered them a lifeline. Everton were left to rue not getting a third goal before the turning point from the Portuguese playmaker’s dead ball strike but while many in the Blues camp were left raging by referee Andrew Madley overturning his original decision to award a stoppage time penalty, Moyes, now 61 and the elder statesman among Premier League managers, took the setback in a sanguine fashion.
Back on September 11, 2010, Moyes was fined £8,000 for racing on to the Goodison Park pitch and berating referee Martin Atkinson after he had blown the full-time whistle when Phil Jagielka was running through on goal in a 3-3 draw. At the time, he grumbled: “It is a spectator sport with people coming to watch the game and not for him to be the main man.”
