Everton Stun Manchester United with Ten-Man Triumph at Old Trafford

Old Trafford, Manchester – Everton pulled off one of the season’s most remarkable Premier League upsets by defeating Manchester United 1-0 despite playing with ten men for more than 75 minutes. The dramatic Monday night fixture on November 24, 2025, saw the Toffees claim victory at Old Trafford for the first time since 2013.​

Bizarre Early Red Card Fails to Stop Toffees

The match was turned on its head in the 13th minute, when Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye received a red card for an altercation with teammate Michael Keane, leaving David Moyes’ side facing a daunting task against an in-form United. However, Everton showed extraordinary resilience and tactical discipline with only ten men on the pitch.​

Dewsbury-Hall Delivers, Pickford Stands Tall

Despite the numerical disadvantage, the away side took a shock lead just before the half-hour mark. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall surged through midfield and fired a curling shot into the top corner, giving Everton an unlikely 1-0 advantage. Manchester United dominated possession and pressed for an equalizer, but a combination of heroic defending and a string of outstanding saves by Jordan Pickford denied efforts from Bruno Fernandes, Joshua Zirkzee, and Mason Mount.​
