The Full Time Report — Episode 122: Late Again, Level Again

A Monday briefing on Everton’s stoppage-time rescue against Manchester United, Arsenal’s comeback win over Chelsea, the transfer stories that reached Sunday’s pitch, and the return of European football.

0:00 / 15:12
Sunday’s two Premier League matches were decided by reactions: Everton came back twice to draw 2–2 with Manchester United, while Arsenal recovered from an early Chelsea goal to win 2–1. The episode follows what those responses say about each side, then separates confirmed transfer evidence from rumour as European football returns.

The episode in brief

  • Everton 2–2 Manchester United: Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko put United ahead, but Tyrique George and Ainsley Maitland-Niles answered. Maitland-Niles scored a stoppage-time equaliser on his Everton debut. 1
  • Arsenal 2–1 Chelsea: Morgan Rogers scored after two minutes, before Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard turned the match around for Arsenal. David Raya made a late save from Estevao. Arsenal kept a 100% league start; Chelsea suffered Xabi Alonso’s first defeat. 23

What the results changed

Manchester United have one win from their opening three league games and have conceded at least twice in each of them. Everton remain unbeaten after three matches, although Sunday’s point was their third draw. Arsenal and Manchester City are the only teams on nine points from nine after Matchweek 3. 13

Transfer evidence after deadline day

The Premier League summer window closed at 23:00 BST on 1 September. Everton added Jack Grealish on loan and Ainsley Maitland-Niles permanently, while a move for Folarin Balogun did not complete. Chelsea’s deadline-day roundup included Enzo Fernández’s reported £125 million move to Manchester City. 4

Europe returns

UEFA lists Champions League league-phase Matchday 1 for 8–10 September 2026. Europa League Matchday 1 follows on 16–17 September, so Sunday had no European result to recap. 56
