Everton Rescue Late Equaliser to Hold Manchester United in 2-2 Thriller at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Everton scored a stoppage-time equaliser to hold Manchester United to a 2-2 draw at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday 6 September 2026, with the home side snatching a point in the dying moments of a Premier League match that kicked off at 2:00 PM BST (BBC Sport; Fox Sports).
The goal — coming in the minutes added on at the end of the regulation ninety, known as stoppage time — denied United all three points after they had looked set to leave Liverpool with a win (BBC Sport).
Michael Carrick, the Manchester United manager, did not hide his frustration afterwards. He said his side was "disappointed not to see out the game" and pointed to decisions his players made that he believed made the contest more difficult than it needed to be (BBC Sport).
Hill Dickinson Stadium, Everton's new home, sits on Bramley-Moore Dock on the Liverpool waterfront (Manchester United). The club moved there from Goodison Park, their home of more than 130 years, ahead of the 2025/26 season. When these two sides met at Goodison in the 2024/25 campaign, they also drew 2-2 (Manchester United).
A late equaliser at a stadium still finding its rhythms is the kind of moment that builds a place's character. For the supporters filing out onto the Merseyside streets, a point rescued at the death will feel like far more than a draw.
For Carrick, the recurring pattern — twice taking the lead, twice pegged back — will prompt hard questions about his side's game management, that ability to close a match out when the finish line is in sight. United had travelled to Merseyside looking for a statement result. Instead they head back down the East Lancs Road with one point where three felt within reach.
Everton, meanwhile, take something tangible from a fixture that had been slipping away. A new stadium takes time to feel like home. Afternoons like this one speed the process along.
