Everton beat Man Utd despite Gueye seeing red for slap on teammate

MANCHESTER, England :Everton enjoyed their first Premier League win at Manchester United for 12 years despite playing virtually the entire game with 10 men after midfielder Idrissa Gueye was sent off for slapping his own teammate Michael Keane on Monday.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's superb first-half goal sealed a 1-0 win for the visitors, who shrugged off the 13th-minute incident that had seen Gueye and Keane square up to each other.

United, who could have moved up to fifth with a win, dominated possession, especially in the second half, but Everton defended superbly to repel the hosts who looked blunt in attack.

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made several fine saves to preserve his side's lead, the pick of them to claw away a Joshua Zirkzee header with 10 minutes remaining.

A second away win of the season lifted Everton above city rivals and champions Liverpool into 11th place, level on 18 points with United, who are above them on goal difference.

Everton manager David Moyes had failed to win in 17 previous Premier League matches as an opposition manager at Old Trafford and Everton's most recent win there, in 2013, came when Moyes was in the home dugout during his brief United reign.

"Tonight we got over the line with 10 men, which is the hardest way to get a good result," Moyes said.

"Let's be fair, Man United are in pretty good form at the moment so it was never going to be easy with 11, so to do it with 10 is fantastic."

His miserable record at Old Trafford looked like continuing as Everton made a horrible start when defender Seamus Coleman was forced off with an injury after 10 minutes.

Worse was to follow shortly after in a moment of madness.
