Everton have ended their lengthy winless run at Manchester United.
Monday’s Premier League encounter saw the visitors reduced to 10 men early after Idrissa Gueye was sent off for clashing with Michael Keane.
But David Moyes’ side took the lead shortly before the half-hour mark when Kiernan Dewsbury-Halll fired a stunning finish beyond Senne Lammens.
The Blues managed to hold on after the interval with Jordan Pickford making a string of impressive saves to rack up back-to-back victories in the league.
Moyes’ maiden win as an opposing manager to his former Old Trafford stomping ground was also Everton’s first away to the Red Devils since 2013.
It also marked the first time an opposing team has won at the Theatre of Dreams in the English top flight after having a player sent off.
“If nothing happened, I don’t think anyone in the stadium would have been surprised,“ Moyes said about Gueye’s red card.
“I thought the referee could have taken a bit longer to think about it. I got told that the rules of the game that if you slap your own player, you could be in trouble.
“But there’s another side to it: I like my players fighting each other, if someone didn’t do the right action.
“If you want that toughness and resilience to get a result, you want someone to act on it.”
