Manchester United’s 1–0 to Everton on Monday to close out the latest round of Premier League action made history in more ways than one.
The Red Devils were stifled by the 10 Toffees marking the first time they ever lost a game at Old Trafford to an undermanned side. As well, the result saw former Man Utd boss David Moyes win his first away game at the Theatre of Dreams in 18 tries.
On a night where the Red Devils could’ve jumped into the top four with a lopsided performance, they were toothless in attack. Even with Idrissa Gana Gueye getting himself sent off for an altercation with teammate Michael Keane, Man Utd registered just six shots on target.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the lone goal beating Senne Lammens with a curled effort shortly after going down to 10 men. Wasted chance after wasted chance defined a dominant second half, in terms of possession, for the hosts as they dropped three, potentially critical, points.
It’s back to the drawing board for Man Utd who were unbeaten in their five previous contests. Next up is a daunting trip to face Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace at Selhurst park.
