Everton draw a 'big blow' for Man Utd's Premier League title chances - Scholes

Drawing with Everton was a "big blow" for Manchester United, according to Paul Scholes, who says it will be "difficult" for the Red Devils to win the title now.

United missed the chance to draw level with arch-rivals Manchester City at the top of the table again on Saturday night.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were held to a 3-3 draw by Everton at Old Trafford, despite having gone in at half-time with a healthy two-goal advantage thanks to efforts from Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes.
