The first half of the match at Old Trafford was full of events. In the 10th minute, Everton had to make a substitution when veteran Seamus Coleman was injured. Just 3 minutes later, "The Toffees" were suddenly reduced to 10 men on the field, when midfielder Idrissa Gueye received a red card for a fight with a teammate. It was even more surprising when MU, the club with an extra man, conceded the first goal.
In the 29th minute, five red shirts let Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall dribble the ball, before firing a technical shot into the far corner, defeating goalkeeper Senne Lammens. Leny Yoro made a direct mistake, with a missed interception.

After conceding the goal, MU rose up and put pressure on the visitors' defense. However, the best chance the home team had was a long-range shot that was blocked by Jordan Pickford in the 45+1 minute.
The first half ended with Everton in complete control. The Merseyside representative took the initiative to play aggressively, committing fouls from afar, leaving MU's attackers, including Bryan Mbeumo, helpless.
In the second half, coach Ruben Amorim made many adjustments. Mason Mount entered the field and helped the "Red Devils" increase the speed and quality of their attacks.
However, the home team still lacked the necessary precision in decisive moves. Opportunities came one after another before the red shirt strikers' toes.
In the 73rd minute, the home coaching staff was disappointed when Bruno's unnecessary fancy handling sent the ball over the bar after Mount's pass. When Everton's defenders were defeated, Pickford was still in goal. England's number one goalkeeper made two excellent saves in the 80th and 89th minutes, against Joshua Zirkzee's finishing effort.
The match ended with a humiliating disappointment for Amorim and his team. MU lost to Everton at home for the first time in more than a decade and remained in 10th place with 18 points, 3 points behind the top 4.
