Everton remain unbeaten despite striker problems
Despite facing from a lack of attacking options after a disastrous summer transfer window, Everton showcased immense character to salvage a draw.
Facing an injury crisis in their attack, David Moyes’ side proved that resilience and individual brilliance can compensate for missing personnel.
Having won the opener vs Crystal Palace, they have now drawn two consecutive league games, 1-1 vs Bournemouth and 2-2 vs Man United.
Coming back twice against a formidable Manchester United side highlights the growing belief and fighting spirit within the squad.
They now face a struggling Spurs side next, who are yet to record a win this season despite a summer spending spree.
