In a dramatic Premier League clash, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's remarkable goal secured a 1-0 victory for Everton against Manchester United. Despite being reduced to ten men early on, Everton managed to claim their first win at Old Trafford since 2013. Idrissa Gueye received a red card in the 13th minute, yet Everton held firm to end United's five-match unbeaten streak.
Bruno Fernandes had an early chance for United but missed the target. This led to a heated exchange between Gueye and Michael Keane, resulting in Gueye's dismissal for violent conduct. Just 16 minutes later, Dewsbury-Hall scored with a superb shot from outside the box, despite Senne Lammens getting a hand to it.
United pushed hard for an equaliser throughout the match. Amad Diallo's
effort was saved in the first half, while Bryan Mbeumo was denied by Jordan Pickford after the break. Joshua Zirkzee also saw his attempt stopped by Pickford, who made several crucial saves to maintain his clean sheet.
This match marked David Moyes' first victory as a visiting manager at Old Trafford in the Premier League after 18 attempts. It was also Everton's first win at this venue since December 2013 when Moyes was managing United. The game coincided with Ruben Amorim's one-year anniversary as United's manager.
Gueye's red card added to Everton's record of 110 Premier League dismissals, tying them with Arsenal for the most in league history. His ejection was notable as he became the first player sent off for fighting with a teammate since Ricardo Fuller in 2008.
United's Struggles and Missed Opportunities
Despite having numerous chances, United failed to score against ten-man Everton. They recorded 25 attempts on goal, with six on target, but couldn't find the net. This marked the first time United lost a home league game after their opponents received a red card.
