Everton scored twice in stoppage time to snatch a dramatic 3-3
draw at home to Manchester United, who left Wayne Rooney out of
their squad after a week of allegations about his private life.

• Ferguson: We threw it away

Rooney did not even travel to Goodison Park as manager Sir Alex
Ferguson, on the occasion of his 700th Premier League match, claimed
he wanted to protect the 24-year-old from abuse from the fans with
whom he used to be a favourite.
The disruption appeared to affect his team-mates early on as they
fell behind to a Steven Pienaar goal but Darren Fletcher, Nemanja
Vidic and Dimitar Berbatov put United well ahead before the Toffees'
stunning late comeback through Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta.
