Referee Tony Harrington dismissed Gueye after confirming the incident as violent conduct, a moment that momentarily silenced the away end and left Everton manager David Moyes visibly stunned.

The red card, later verified by VAR, made Gueye the first Premier League player in 17 years to be expelled for confronting a teammate.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, marking the first anniversary of his first match in charge, watched his side dominate possession but lack any cutting edge.

Jordan Pickford kept Everton in the contest with a powerful save from a long-range Bruno Fernandes attempt as the home crowd grew increasingly restless.

Everton, reduced to ten men but showing remarkable resilience, took an unexpected lead in the 29th minute.

Dewsbury-Hall surged past Fernandes and Leny Yoro before curling a sensational finish into the top corner, a moment that proved decisive and electrified the travelling supporters.

Amorim introduced Mason Mount at half-time and later replaced Casemiro and Yoro with Kobbie Mainoo and Diogo Dalot, yet Manchester United remained blunt in attack.

Pickford produced another commanding save when he kept out Joshua Zirkzee’s header with just over ten minutes remaining, preserving Everton’s advantage.

Everton also suffered the early loss of captain Seamus Coleman through injury, compounding the drama of a match that will be remembered for its intensity and unpredictability.

Despite United entering the contest on a five-game unbeaten run, the visitors absorbed pressure with determination and clinched a famous win that adds momentum to their campaign.
