Ten-man Everton stun lethargic Manchester United in an astonishing Old Trafford upset
Everton produced one of their most memorable away performances in decades as they beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford, despite playing more than 75 minutes with 10 men after Idrissa Gueye was sent off for slapping teammate Michael Keane. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's superb first-half strike proved enough to hand David Moyes his first Premier League victory at Old Trafford as a visiting manager and to end United's five-match unbeaten run.
On the first anniversary of Ruben Amorim’s tenure, United had the chance to move into the top five and strengthen their case as Champions League contenders. Instead they turned in a dismal, disjointed display against opponents who had previously won only once here in the league since August 1992 and not since 2013. Jordan Pickford’s defiance, Everton’s collective work ethic and United’s alarming complacency combined to turn an already remarkable red card into an ‘I was there’ night for the travelling Toffees.
