Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was very frustrated after their side’s 1-1 draw with Everton. Zlatan Ibrahimović’s long range lob almost sealed a victory for the Red Devils but a late penalty conceded by Marouane Fellaini cost them two crucial points. Leighton Baines converted from the spot to deny the Red Devils from a win.
This is United’s third successive draw Following West Ham United and Arsenal.
Despite the draw, Mourinho expresses his happiness over their player’s performances, “It’s another game with a very good performance in a very difficult place to play, in a very emotional stadium, against a team full of good players. So it was a very good performance but a bad result in relation to the performance. We were the best team by far but we didn’t win.
“We had chances for 2-0, we had the ball against the post and then we lost a goal in the last few minutes. If you come to Goodison Park and you get a point in other circumstances I don’t think it’s a bad result because it’s a difficult place to play, but we were the best team by far so the point is not the point that gives us what we deserve.”
Mourinho also explained the reason of bringing Fellaini on, “What do you mean by that [question]? I thought you would know more about football than you do because the answer is obvious. Everton is not a passing team like they were. Everton is a team that plays direct. Everything is direct. Goalkeeper direct. Ashley Williams direct. Funes Mori direct. Everything is direct and when a team is losing and plays direct intensifies the direct football, and you have a player on the bench with two metres, you play that player in front of the defensive line to help the team win the match.”
