EPL Table: Tuesday's Week 31 Results, Scores and 2017 Premier League Standings
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a 94th-minute penalty on his return from suspension to help rescue a point for Manchester United against Everton in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
Ibrahimovic's goal equalised Phil Jagielka's opener for Everton, but the 1-1 draw is United's ninth at home this season. Another stalemate leaves manager Jose Mourinho's squad still adrift of the top four.
Meanwhile, champions Leicester City moved into the top 10 after a fifth league win in a row. The Foxes won at the expense of Sunderland, who remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

Recap
Everton were in firm control during a fairly static first half at Old Trafford. United tried to start fast and did succeed in forcing the Toffees deep, per Squawka Football:
However, Everton were one up after 22 minutes when Jagielka produced a surprisingly deft finish on the turn from inside the box. The centre-back's goal meant the Toffees had one more player find the net in England's top flight this season, per BBC Match of the Day:
United tried to battle back but struggled to miss the frame of the goal, rather than finding the back of it. First, Ander Herrera hit the bar, then Paul Pogba repeated the trick.
Striking the woodwork has become a frustratingly familiar theme for the Red Devils this season:
Pogba himself has accounted for many of United's near misses:
Everton were in control but came unstuck in stoppage time when centre-back Ashley Williams was shown a red card for handling in the box. The former Swansea City man got his hand to an errant shot from left-back Luke Shaw.
Shaw has been an outcast for most of the season on Mourinho's watch, but his contribution helped earn United a point after Ibrahimovic made no mistake from the spot. It prompted ESPN's Raphael Honigstein to make this pun:
United's inability to win home matches is no joke, though:
Earlier, Watford were in front against West Brom after just 13 minutes at Vicarage Road, when M'Baye Niang scored after being played through by strike partner Troy Deeney.
As OptaJoe noted, the Hornets have made a habit of scoring early goals this season:
It was Deeney's turn to find the net four minutes into the second half. In the process, the 28-year-old made club history:
Not even a red card for defender Miguel Britos afforded the Baggies a route back into the match.
Leicester took their time to wear down a desperate Sunderland side but got their breakthrough after 69 minutes when Islam Slimani powered in a header. The former Sporting Lisbon frontman has been prolific in the air since joining the Foxes:
Fellow striker Jamie Vardy's goals took Leicester to the most unlikely title win ever last season. The England international struggled mightily since the start of this campaign but has been steadily regaining his scoring touch lately.
He finished smartly after expertly controlling Marc Albrighton's precise delivery. Vardy is now achieving feats he managed last season:
Elsewhere, George Boyd's goal two minutes short of the hour mark was enough to see Burnley past Stoke City. The 1-0 win has restored the Clarets excellent form at home after a rare slip against Tottenham Hotspur last time out at Turf Moor.
Burnley, Watford and Leicester are holding firm in the top half of the table, but United and Everton will rue dropping two points apiece in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification.
