Manchester United defender Phil Jones admits ‘dropping points is becoming a trend’

Phil Jones admits he was 'gutted' when Manchester United once again dropped Premier League points by conceding a late goal, this time against Everton, and admitted it is now a 'common trend' for the team.

Sunday's 1-1 draw at Goodison Park meant United again failed to see out a match from a promising position, after conceding an 87th minute penalty after a foul by ex-Everton player Marouane Fellaini.

United have been held to draws in six of their last eight league games, including consecutive 1-1 draws against Arsenal, West Ham United and Everton.
