​Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored a 96th-minute equaliser on his Everton debut, curling a 25-yard strike into the top corner to snatch a 2-2 draw against Manchester United.The deadline day signing became the first player to score on his Everton debut in the years following Richarlison’s effort in August 2018, and the first in club history to score from outside the penalty area on a Premier League debut.Manager David Moyes says his small squad means fringe players have to be ready to contribute, with Maitland-Niles and fellow new arrival Tyrique George already delivering.From the Bench to the Top Corner in Ninety-Six MinutesAinsley Maitland-Niles had been on the pitch for a little over half an hour when the ball dropped to him twenty-five yards from goal. Everton trailed Manchester United for the second time in the match, Benjamin Sesko’s header eight minutes earlier looking set to hand the visitors a first away win of the season. Maitland-Niles took a touch, opened his body, and curled a shot beyond Senne Lammens and into the top corner. The clock read 95:11. It was his first touch of note in an Everton shirt, and it turned a defeat into a draw.“It felt like a win,” Maitland-Niles said afterwards, speaking to Sky Sports. “We dug deep and managed to get a point in the end. The crowd were with us, and we were fighting to the end, and that’s why you get those results.”The former Arsenal defender signed for Everton on deadline day for a reported £4.3m, a fee that drew little fanfare at the time.

Maitland-Niles’ signing, by contrast, barely registered outside Merseyside. Sunday afternoon changed that.A Debut That Rewrote the Club Record BooksTimed at 95:11, the goal stands as the latest a player has scored at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium. Maitland-Niles became the first player to score on his Everton debut in the years following Richarlison’s effort in August 2018, and the first in the club’s history to do so with a strike from outside the penalty area. For a player last on the Premier League scoresheet in December 2018, the moment carried personal significance too.“It’s amazing to get the goal; everyone wants to start off like that, and thankfully I did,” Maitland-Niles said. “The ball fell to me on the edge of the box; I put my foot through it, and it ended up in the top corner, which I’m happy about. I came in to work hard. It’s a team full of hard workers, so I fit right in. I’m going to show I can fit right in and contribute everything I’ve got, the same as everyone else, if not more.”Manchester United had led twice through Bryan Mbeumo and Sesko, either side of a Tyrique George equaliser for the hosts. It is now the second time in fifty years that United have conc
