Throwing away points will cost United title, warns Fletcher

DARREN FLETCHER accepts Manchester United have lessons to learn about their away performances so far this season if they are to avoid serious damage to their Premier League title challenge.

Having spent so many seasons dishing out last-gasp defeats to their rivals, Alex Ferguson’s side received a taste of their own medicine as Everton fought back from 3-1 down to snatch a draw, with two goals in injury time at Goodison Park.

In their only other away game so far this season, United saw Fulham’s Brede Hangeland earn a 2-2 draw with an 89th-minute header – moments after Nani had missed a penalty.
