Everton triumphed 1-0 at Manchester United on Monday, claiming their first Premier League win at Old Trafford in 12 years, despite being reduced to 10 men early in the match.
Midfielder Idrissa Gueye was sent off in the 13th minute after striking teammate Michael Keane, leaving Everton to battle almost the entire game with a numerical disadvantage.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s brilliant first-half strike proved enough to secure the victory, giving Everton a crucial lead that they defended resolutely. Manchester United controlled possession for much of the second half but struggled to create clear-cut chances against a disciplined Everton defence.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was pivotal, producing several key saves, including a spectacular stop to deny Joshua Zirkzee late in the game.
The win, Everton’s second away victory of the season, propelled them above Liverpool into 11th place, level on 18 points with Manchester United, who remain ahead on goal difference.
