In a dramatic turn of events, Everton secured a historic 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford, marking their first Premier League win at the venue in 12 years. The match, however, was overshadowed by an unusual incident involving Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye, who was sent off just 13 minutes into the game for slapping his own teammate, Michael Keane, following a heated exchange. This rare occurrence marked only the third time in Premier League history that a player has been dismissed for a confrontation with a teammate, the last instance dating back to 2008. Despite the early setback, Everton managed to clinch the win with a stunning goal by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, becoming the first team to win at Old Trafford after having a player sent off. Everton manager David Moyes, who had previously failed to win a league game at Old Trafford in 17 attempts as a visiting manager, downplayed the incident, stating that he appreciates the passion and intensity of his players. ‘I quite like my own players fighting each other and getting annoyed with each other because of a bad ball or someone didn’t do the right action,’ Moyes said. ‘If you want a winning team, with the resilience and toughness that got us the result, then I think you’ve got to have players that are going to react in that way.’ Gueye later apologized for his actions on social media, taking full responsibility and vowing to ensure such behavior never happens again. Moyes praised his team’s resilience and the unwavering support of the fans, emphasizing the significance of the victory under challenging circumstances.
