Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer paid Everton a big compliment despite his frustration of drawing 3-3 with the Blues.
Everton fought back from 2-0 down at half-time to level the game inside seven minutes of the re-start with goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and James Rodriguez.
United would re-take the lead with 20 minutes remaining when Scott McTominay squeezed a header past Robin Olsen, who appeared to slip as he went to make the save.
But Everton would summon a late equaliser with Dominic Calvert-Lewin pouncing on Michael Keane's flick-on to make it 3-3 in the final few seconds of the match.
Solksjaer was exasperated that his side had failed to turn their dominance into three points but had to admit that they faced one of the better sides in the Premier League.
“We know that many teams in the Premier League have got good players and Everton more than others,” Solskjaer said.
“When we give them a chance to even put the keeper up there, there was 10 men in there – just one that launched it and 10 in the box.
“It’s about staying high, winning the first challenge, of course. If you don’t stay up on the line and clear it, and we just couldn’t manage.
“But it happened before that. We should have played the minute out better. Of course we should have.”
