Everton roared back to claim a 3-3 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford – with Abdoulaye Doucoure proving to be the star man for the Toffees.

Carlo Ancelotti’s team were 2-0 behind at the break, with goals coming from Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes.

If the first-half was plain sailing for United, the second 45 proved anything but.

Doucoure pulled one back four minutes after the restart and three minutes later James Rodriguez equalised.

United restored their lead when Scott McTominay scored with 20 minutes remaining but Everton weren’t to be denied.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin wasn’t going to miss out on the goal-fest and five minutes into stoppage time he popped his name on the scoresheet with a last-gasp leveller.

The result means Everton sit sixth in the Premier League and remain on course to secure a European place.

Ancelotti won’t have enjoyed his team’s first-half showing but the second was a vast improvement.

Doucoure is proving a shrewd signing for Everton having arrived from Watford for £20 million in the summer.

The 28-year-old earns £75,000-a-week at Goodison Park and is becoming a firm fan favourite.

He claimed a goal and an assist at Old Trafford and fans took to Twitter to rave about his performance.

Here is what the fan base were saying after Doucoure’s strong showing.
