Manchester United draw 2-2 with Everton in dead time after Cisco's late goal

Slovenian substitute Benjamin Sisko believed that he had given his Manchester United team its second victory in the new season of the English Premier League, but Everton saved a point at home by equalizing 2-2 in the dead time through a substitute also, the newcomer Ainsley Maitland-Niles, on Sunday, in the third stage.

United, which finished third last season and thus returned to participate in the Champions League, began its campaign with a loss at Hull City, but turned its deficit in the second stage against Ipswich Town into a major victory 5-2.

He thought he had achieved the second victory when Cisco responded to the equalizer scored by Tyreek George in the 83rd minute, giving the visitors the lead in the 88th minute, but Maitland-Niles fired a wonderful ball from outside the area and saved the “Toffees” from their first defeat.

United started the match with an opportunity for their Portuguese captain Bruno Fernandes, who scored a hat-trick in the last stage against Ipswich, but luck was against him after his shot rebounded off the crossbar (8).

Seconds later, Everton demanded a penalty kick in favor of Frenchman Tierno Barney, but the referee did not give him what he wanted (9), and then the goalkeepers had no real chances until the 43rd minute, when Barry also threatened the visitors’ goal with a header, but the ball went over the crossbar of Belgian goalkeeper Signe Lamins.

United struck early at the beginning of the second half and opened the scoring with a beautiful shot by Cameroonian Brian Mbomo, which he fired from the outskirts of the penalty area to the right corner of Jordan Pickford's goal (46).

The score remained the same despite some timid attempts by both teams, until the 83rd minute when Tyreek George fired a wonderful missile into Lammens' goal, equalizing for former United coach David Moyes' Scottish side.

But the “Red Devils” did not give up, and with a pass from Fernandes to Luke Shaw, the latter played a cross that reached substitute Cisco, who headed it into Pickford’s net (88).

When coach Michael Carrick's team was preparing to celebrate the victory, Maitland-Niles, who entered in the 77th minute, snatched the equalizer with a wonderful shot from the outskirts of the area to the upper right corner (6 + 90), thus achieving his best start with his new team, to which he moved on the last day of the summer transfer period from Lyon, France.

Jan Christian Driessen, CEO of the German club Bayern Munich, said that he is confident of reaching an agreement with the English Harry Kane, the star striker of the Bavarian team, to renew his contract, and he confirmed his desire to keep the Frenchman Michael Olise, whom he described as a magician, for more than one season.

“We have a friendly relationship, and it is clear that both parties want this matter,” Dressen said in statements to the “Doublepass” program on “Sport 1” channel on Sunday.

Kane joined Bayern Munich from English club Tottenham in a deal worth 100 million euros ($116.16 million) with a contract until 2027. He achieved the title of top scorer in the German League in the three seasons he has played so far, scoring 148 goals in 151 matches.

The England national team captain represents his father and brother in contract renewal negotiations, where the salary and the duration of the contract, whether until 2029 or 2030, are among the most important items.

ويقال إن كين (33 عاماً)، يفضّل عقدا لمدة 3 سنوات، وقد يستمر في اللعب لفترة أطول.

Dressen declined to comment on the matter, while Kane said last week that the new contract may not be the last, but it is an important contract that he must make a decision about.

For his part, Oliseh's contract extends until 2029 after joining Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace in 2024 for 55 million euros. The French winger has scored 45 goals and provided 47 assists in 111 matches with Bayern.

وارتبط اسم المهاجم الفرنسي بعروض تصل قيمتها إلى 200 مليون يورو. Dressen said that he did not receive any official offer this summer, but he remained cautious about the future of Oliseh, whom he described as “a magician on the field.”

Dressen said: “Making promises in this area is difficult. We will discuss again the issue of keeping him permanently during the summer.”

The importance of Kane and Oliseh became apparent on Saturday when they did not participate in the start in the German League match against Schalke, which ended in a goalless draw for Bayern Munich. Kane came on as a substitute in the second half, and almost snatched the winning goal in the final minutes, while Oliseh entered the match in the 60th minute.
