Manchester United's struggles at Old Trafford continued as they suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat to Everton on Saturday. The match, which was David Moyes' first win in the Premier League as a visiting manager, saw Idrissa Gueye sent off for striking a teammate, a moment that proved decisive for the Toffees.
The Everton midfielder's red card came in the 50th minute, with replays suggesting that he had deliberately kicked James Garner to the head. While the incident was widely condemned by both teams' coaches and players, the real story of the match was the one that unfolded on the pitch.
Everton, who were boosted by Gueye's absence from the proceedings, dominated possession throughout, with their attacking trio of Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Michael Keane proving difficult to contain for United's backline. It was only a matter of time before they broke the deadlock, with Calvert-Lewin scoring the lone goal in the 64th minute.
The Everton victory marked a rare moment of success at Old Trafford for the Toffees, who have struggled on their visits to Manchester. Meanwhile, it will also be remembered as a costly defeat for United, who were left frustrated by a lack of creativity and clinical finishing.
Despite Gueye's sending off, Everton ultimately showed more composure under pressure, while United were unable to capitalize on their possession advantage. In the end, it was Everton who deservedly emerged victorious, with David Moyes claiming his first Premier League win as a manager – albeit as a visiting one at that.

, Everton got robbed! They were like 70% possession and still can't score? Richarlison has been having an amazing season, averaging 2.5 shots on target per game 
. And Calvert-Lewin is just a nightmare for defenders - he's had 15 goals in the last 10 games 
.
. They need to work on their finishing, though - that one goal chance they had in the first half was like a sitter 
. United need to figure out how to contain him, or at least have a better game plan 
.
. And Moyes' win as a visitor is huge for him, he needs this momentum going forward 
. United, on the other hand, are still stuck at 19th place... 
. richarlison and calvert-lewin just destroyed them on paper... what a joke
. I think people are expecting too much from them after all those big signings and whatnot. They need time to gel and figure out their playing style again. And btw, who sent off Gueye anyway? Was it really that clear cut a red card 
? Anyway, on to the next match! 
. And what was United doing on the pitch while Everton had possession for like 80% of the game? They just didn't have any answers 
they had it coming from somewhere 
but gotta give credit to everton they played so well and deserved the win 
gueye's red card was crazy though 
can't believe he lost his cool like that 
anyways, gotta say david moyes' win is a big deal for him 
first premier league win as a manager as a visitor lol 
right now 
get anything going at Old Trafford 
I mean, 1-0 defeats are never 
and it looks like David Moyes' team were the ones who 
pulled off a decent performance 
moment and you could tell Everton were 
better in that department 
score or create any meaningful chances 
️. Maybe they can turn it around soon? 
. I mean, 1-0 to Everton? That's just embarrassing 
, but just can't seem to click into gear when it matters 
.
. Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, and Keane are actually having a good game 
. Can't even get a goal to save their lives 
. Still, it's going to be tough for United to turn this season around 
. They need some big changes or they're going to be stuck in the mid-table 
. First David Moyes gets the job and now he's already getting wins? That just doesn't add up for me... Meanwhile, Idrissa Gueye getting sent off is super suspicious lol 
. They need to sort out their midfield if they wanna get back on top.
, even if it was as an away team 
. United needs to work on their creativity and finishing skills 
. Moyes must be thrilled with his side's composure under pressure 
! 
still can't fault his team though, they gave it their all and were unlucky not to get a draw or even win at one point
