Manchester United surrendered a two-goal lead to Everton in 2012

Manchester United's title hopes suffered a huge blow when Sir Alex Ferguson's side surrendered a two-goal lead at home to Everton in April 2012.

The Red Devils, who face the Merseysiders on Super Sunday, had appeared to be cruising towards three crucial points when leading 4-2 with just 10 minutes left to play at Old Trafford.

However, two late strikes from Nikica Jelavic and Steven Pienaar handed the Toffees an unlikely draw.

As a result, those dropped points gave Manchester City the opportunity to move to the top of the Premier League on goal difference by beating their fierce rivals at the Etihad eight days later.
