"United laid siege to the Toffees' penalty area after going behind to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's curler, finishing the game with 25 shots and 1.71 expected goals (xG), compared to three shots and 0.21 xG for the visitors. But they could not find an equaliser, losing a home Premier League game after seeing their opponents receive a red card for the first time ever, after 36 wins and 10 draws."
"We're trying to build a trust in a manager, we're trying to build a trust in a team," he said. "The fans booed collectively at the end. It was loud, and rightly so. "That was a really poor performance. It's almost as if you've gone two or three steps forward, everyone's feeling a little bit better, and you've just gone back to the start again.

Manchester United lost 1-0 to Everton at Old Trafford after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored a curler and Everton held firm despite Idrissa Gueye receiving a red card for striking teammate Michael Keane early on. United dominated possession and finished with 25 shots and 1.71 expected goals versus Everton's three shots and 0.21 xG but could not find an equaliser. The defeat marked United's first home loss in the Premier League when the opposition had a red card, ending a run of 36 wins and 10 draws in such circumstances. The result left Ruben Amorim's side 10th and prompted public criticism accusing the team of complacency and erasing recent progress.
