Idrissa Gana 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.
Gueye was shown a straight red after striking Keane during a heated row, but 10-man Everton dug deep and Dewsbury-Hall’s curling effort proved the difference in a 1-0 victory against toothless United.
Some strike, btw. 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/ZqZtGd6Vb9

It was the Toffees’ first win at Old Trafford since December 2013, when Moyes was in the home dugout, and saw Ruben Amorim’s side return to earth with a bump having gone five unbeaten.
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.
