Blame Evra and Rafael

They have been suspect all season and Manchester United fullbacks Patrice Evra and Rafael da Silva were again the main culprits as the Red Devils blew a two-goal lead to throw the title race wide open.

Twice United took two-goal leads against Everton at 3-1 and 4-2.

But their naive chase for a three-goal cushion and the propensity for their fullbacks to bomb forward recklessly allowed Everton to snatch a 4-4 draw.

It's a result which has reignited the title race and given the upcoming Manchester Derby the significance of deciding which of the city's teams will win the EPL title.
