Manchester United's 18-game unbeaten run at Old Trafford came to an abrupt end as Everton earned a stunning 1-0 victory over the Red Devils, with David Moyes securing his first Premier League win as a visiting manager. The Toffees' triumph was all the more remarkable given that they were reduced to 10 men after Idrissa Gueye's red card in the 55th minute.
The contest had been evenly poised prior to Gueye's sending off, with both sides creating scoring opportunities but unable to find the breakthrough. However, it was Everton who ultimately got their just rewards when they capitalized on a Manchester United error to score the decisive goal.
The victory marked a significant milestone for Moyes, who had previously suffered 17 consecutive defeats at Old Trafford as his previous clubs' managers before him. His side's triumph over one of England's most storied clubs will undoubtedly give them renewed confidence heading into their remaining fixtures in the Premier League.
For Manchester United, the defeat serves as a wake-up call ahead of their busy schedule, with several high-profile matches on the horizon. The Red Devils will be keen to bounce back from this setback and get back to winning ways sooner rather than later.
