Man United secure late draw with Everton, Leicester in sixth straight win

-

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a last-minute penalty to salvage a 1-1 draw for Manchester United against Everton at Old Trafford.
Everton took the lead in the 22nd minute, with Ashley Williams heading the ball on following a corner to find Phil Jagielka, who showed strength to fight off Marcos Rojo, get a leg on the ball and send it through David De Gea's legs.

United thought they had equalised in the 71st minute from Ibrahimovic's diving header, but the goal was ruled out for offside, which replays showed to be a very tight decision.
But they did manage to find an equaliser deep into stoppage time when Ibrahimovic stepped up to convert a penalty after Williams had been shown a red card for handling Luke Shaw's strike, which was set to hit the target.
Leicester secured a sixth successive win under Craig Shakespeare as they beat Sunderland 2-0 at the King Power Stadium to move up to 10th in the table.
Leicester went the closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half, with Demarai Gray cutting inside before seeing a curled effort from distance tipped around the post by Jordan Pickford.

But the home side did find the breakthrough in the 69th minute when Islam Slimani headed home a Marc Albrighton cross into the corner of the net.
Jamie Vardy made sure of the result 12 minutes from the end, firing into the top corner after being picked out by Albrighton to net his sixth goal in seven games for his club.

James Milner: From bit part at City to big shot at Liverpool

The 30-year-old filled in at Manchester City, but he is fundamental at Anfield. He may not play in his preferred position, but he does so from one of power Jurgen Klopp had barely mapped out his way to Melwood before he first commended James Milner’s cerebral comprehension of the game.  “A complete football player, the perfect professional, a machine” was the German’s assessment after a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last October; his first fixture as Liverpool’s manager. Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open for this position the
