United were leading 2-1 in the game, which was held in the United States. However, Everton levelled in the 75th minute following a somewhat unusual turn of events. Iliman Ndiaye did well to get past Bruno Fernandes, which led to a confrontation between the Everton player and the United captain. However, play continued, with Everton's Tyler Onyango finding Dwight Mc Neil. Amad Diallo came across to intercept the ball but it ended up deflecting off his own player in Heaven and went past goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. ? ?| Everton equalise through an unfortunate Ayden Heaven own goal #MUFC pic. twitter. com/1V3vy O6a F4 Ayden Heaven scored a bizarre own goal as Manchester United drew with Everton Adam Aznou and Dwight Mc Neil of Everton celebrate following the goal in the 75th minute Ruben Amorim's side were held by Everton but still won the Premier League Summer Series Fernandes had given United the lead in the 19th minute, with Ndiaye equalising for Everton before half time.
