With full-time approaching, Manchester United threw everything at Everton, but the visitors — reduced to ten men after Idrissa Gana Gueye’s early red card — held on for a shock 1–0 win at Old Trafford.
Dewsbury-Hall’s brilliant solo strike earlier in the match proved decisive as Everton survived relentless United pressure.
Despite United dominating possession at 68%, leading shots 18–3, and generating an expected goals tally of 1.01 to Everton’s 0.23, the hosts failed to break the Toffees down.
A second-half VAR check for a potential United penalty came to nothing.
