Everton forced Manchester United to a 3 – 3 draw on Saturday, after Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 95th-minute effort sealed a dramatic comeback for the Toffees.
Manchester United missed a chance to go level on points at the top of the table with leaders, Manchester City, who have two games in hand and play Liverpool on Sunday.
Disappointed Red Devils’ boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in a the wake of the thrilling encounter, told Sky Sports that his side ‘shouldn’t be considered title-chasers’ after they failed to snap up a win at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer saw his side allow Everton claw back from a 2-0 half-time deficit with two goals in three minutes at the start of the second half from Abdoulaye Doucoure and James Rodriguez.
Although, Scott McTominay’s flicked header looked to have won it for Manchester United before Calvert-Lewin slotted past David de Gea after Lucas Digne’s free-kick caused chaos in the United area.
Solskjaer said: “We’re not talking about winning titles. We’ve come a long way this team. We shouldn’t even be considered as title-chasers. That’s one for you [the media] – we’ve got to be better as a team and let’s see where we end up. Going forward, we need to stop conceding easy goals.
“They had three shots that hit between the goals and they scored three goals. It’s disappointing. And when it’s in the last minute of added time it’s very disappointing. I wouldn’t blame anyone on the goals but we know we can defend better.”
