Everton manager David Moyes praised his side's character after two stoppage time goals saved a point against Man Utd.[LNB]Moyes was disappointed his side had not capitalised on their early dominance to establish more of a platform before United worked their way back into the game.[LNB]Prior to this match the Toffees had scored just once in three matches and it appeared that bluntness in front of goal was to be their downfall once again until the late intervention of Cahill and Arteta.[LNB]'I thought our play in the first half merited more than what we had at half-time but that is how it goes,' said the Scot.[LNB] 'We expect that character but we stuck at it against a top team. But to be fair I, like probably most, thought that was it at 3-1 down.[LNB]'But at that time I didn't think we had played terribly badly I just through Manchester United took their chances when they got them.'[LNB]Despite snatching a draw, Moyes ran on to the pitch at full-time to remonstrate with referee Martin Atkinson after he blew the final whistle with Everton on the attack.[LNB]'The two goals were scored after 90 minutes and they'd put up three minutes of extra time,' he added.[LNB]'He didn't get his time right because there was more time to add on for the goals and he played three minutes 30 seconds.[LNB]'They had the corner kick and we had a great counter-attack and he blew up with the ball 25 yards from their goal.[LNB]'It is a spectator sport with people coming to watch the game and not for him to be the main man and the one who wants to be seen making the decisions.[LNB]'That was a terrible decision in my book.'
