Everton Claim 1-0 Win Over Manchester United At Old Trafford Despite Playing With 10 Men

Everton secured their first Premier League victory at Manchester United in 12 years, despite spending almost the entire match a man down after midfielder Idrissa Gueye was sent off for striking his teammate Michael Keane on Monday.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s brilliant first-half strike proved decisive, earning the visitors a 1-0 triumph after the 13th-minute altercation that saw a furious Gueye shown a straight red.

Manchester United, aiming to climb to fifth with a win, dominated possession—particularly in the second half—but struggled to break down Everton’s resolute defence. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was outstanding, making several crucial stops, including a stunning save to deny Joshua Zirkzee in the final 10 minutes.

The victory, Everton’s second on the road this season, lifted them above city rivals and reigning champions Liverpool into 11th place, level on 18 points with United, who sit above them on goal difference.
