Report, result, goals in Premier League
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall curled in the winner as Everton survived Idrissa Gueye’s early dismissal for hitting teammate Michael Keane to win at Manchester United for the first time in almost 12 years.
Gueye was sent off in the 13th minute after being adjudged to have struck Keane in the face in an extraordinary incident, with former United manager David Moyes’s side responding admirably and scoring through Dewsbury-Hall’s finish from the edge of the box 16 minutes later.

Visiting goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who acted as peacekeeper during the altercation, tipped Bruno Fernandes’s shot over the crossbar on the stroke of half-time and brilliantly denied Joshua Zirkzee twice late on, but the Toffees deservedly ended United’s five-match unbeaten run and four-game winning sequence at home, moving above arch-rivals Liverpool into 11th.

Man United vs Everton: Gueye red card
Midfielder Gueye’s dismissal was the most high-profile row between teammates since Stoke City forward Ricardo Fuller was sent off for slapping captain Andy Griffin in a game against West Ham in December 2008.
The flashpoint also evoked memories of Newcastle’s Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer receiving their marching orders for fighting during a visit from Aston Villa in April 2005.
The force of the contact appeared to be minimal but Gueye seemed to be incensed, while Keane tapped his own head in apparent disbelief at his unexpected adversary’s thinking.
There had already been one confusing moment for Everton fans to contend with as part of an unpromising start to the game by their team, Seamus Coleman looking annoyed when the 37-year-old defender was replaced by Jake O’Brien after a shaky first 10 minutes of the Ireland right-back’s first club start of the season.
After a tough task had become daunting, £28 million summer signing Dewsbury-Hall swirled in the opener shortly afterwards via Senne Lammens’ fingertips, scoring a decisive first goal for the club at Old Trafford in more than four years.

United brought on Mason Mount for Noussair Mazraoui at half-time but toiled until Zirkzee – replacing the injured Matheus Cunha – almost equalised with a header from Luke Shaw’s cross that was tipped away by Pickford at full stretch with 10 minutes remaining.
The Netherlands international repeated the trick from Matthijs de Ligt’s delivery just before the end of regular time, only for the backpedalling Pickford to push the ball over the target.
Ruben Amorim’s side, who are three points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa in 10th, are next in action away to fifth-placed Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday (12:00 GMT / 07:00 ET / 04:00 PT).
Everton will start three points ahead of 14th-placed Newcastle when they host the Magpies on Saturday (17:30 GMT / 12:30 ET / 09:30 PT).
