  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt had tangled with former United star Ashley Young, leading to him going down inside the box. Referee Andy Madley awarded a penalty, after spotting a shirt pull, but was advised by those in the VAR booth to take a second look at the incident on a pitch-side monitor.

  The original decision was reversed on review, leaving Everton fuming and Maguire relieved. Unsurprisingly, there was only one subject of conversation behind the scenes afterwards. Maguire was seen chatting with England colleague Jordan Pickford outside the dressing rooms.
