Manchester United travelled to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Premier League. Michael Carrick, who had overseen the team after the previous heavy defeat, kept the same starting eleven that had begun the previous match.
The visiting team managed to score first, a goal that initially galvanised the Red Devils. However, United squandered two leads throughout the match.
The game ended in a 2-2 draw, with Manchester United unable to hold onto their leads. This result represents another match where the team failed to take the opportunity to claim all three points.
The expression in the title suggests that the team did not know how to maintain control when in a winning position, ultimately giving up the positive result that had been within reach.
