"Idrissa Gueye's astonishing sending off for slapping team-mate Michael Keane could not stop Everton from going on to secure a memorable win at Manchester United as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall ended David Moyes' Old Trafford hoodoo. The former Red Devils boss had never won a Premier League match as visiting manager and a moment of madness 13 minutes into Monday's meeting looked set to extend that record."
"Everton began brightest when play got under way, but things unravelled for them in quite specular fashion within 13 minutes of kick-off. First skipper Seamus Coleman limped off to be replaced by Jake O'Brien early into his first Premier League start of the season, then Gueye lost his head. The midfielder's poor pass saw Bruno Fernandes going close and led to an argument with Keane, who he slapped during the heated exchange."
"United were booed at the break and again at full-time having looked a shadow of their recent selves, struggling for cutting edge and creativity against the dogged, well-drilled visitors. The absence of injured Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha was keenly felt on a night when Jordan Pickford proved an impenetrable last line of defence as Amorim tasted defeat on the first anniversary of his maiden game in charge."
Everton secured a 1-0 victory at Manchester United despite being reduced to ten men after Idrissa Gueye received a straight red for slapping teammate Michael Keane. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's curling effort proved decisive. Seamus Coleman left early with an injury and Everton still held firm, with Jordan Pickford producing crucial saves. United were booed at halftime and full-time after struggling for cutting edge and creativity, compounded by the absence of injured Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha. The result marked Everton's first win at Old Trafford since December 2013 and ended David Moyes' Old Trafford hoodoo.
