Manchester United 0-1 Everton: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Manchester United 0-1 Everton in the Premier League on Monday, 24 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Everton endured an early setback when Séamus Coleman was forced off through injury after just 10 minutes, replaced by Jake O'Brien, and things worsened as Idrissa Gueye received a straight red card in the 13th minute for a reckless challenge, leaving the Toffees with 10 men for most of the match. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Everton took the lead in the 29th minute when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall finished smartly from James Garner's assist, giving them a slender advantage heading into the break. Manchester United, dominant in possession, picked up a yellow card for Bryan Mbeumo in the 45+2nd minute but failed to capitalise before half-time.

The second half saw Manchester United make an immediate change with Mason Mount replacing Noussair Mazraoui at the 46th minute, though Casemiro's yellow card in the 49th minute added to their frustrations. Further substitutions followed at the 58th minute as Patrick Dorgu made way for Diogo Dalot and Casemiro was replaced by Kobbie Mainoo, aiming to inject energy into United's attack. Everton managed the game astutely with late changes, including Iliman Ndiaye off for Beto and Tyler Barry for Tim Iroegbunam at 81 minutes, followed by Jack Grealish replaced by Dwight McNeil at 87 minutes and Dewsbury-Hall making way for Charly Alcaraz at 88 minutes, securing a gritty 1-0 victory despite being a man down.

Manchester United controlled 70% of possession and racked up nine corners compared to Everton's solitary one, underscoring their territorial dominance, but their 50 successful dribbles edged out Everton's 40 without yielding a breakthrough, highlighting a lack of cutting edge that ultimately cost them the match. Everton's assist for their lone goal proved decisive, while United's two yellow cards—to Mbeumo and Casemiro—contrasted with Everton's clean sheet in cautions but included a red for Gueye, forcing them into a defensive posture that their five substitutions helped maintain, compared to United's three changes which failed to alter the outcome.

The absence of penalties or injury-time goals kept the scoreline tight, with Everton's disciplined approach after the early red card allowing them to absorb pressure and protect their lead, while United's inability to convert possession into assists or goals exposed vulnerabilities that punters should note for future bets.

The match's defining turning point came early with Idrissa Gueye's red card in the 13th minute, reducing Everton to 10 men and shifting the momentum towards Manchester United, yet the Toffees defied the odds by scoring in the 29th minute through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's composed finish from James Garner's assist, a moment that proved decisive in securing the win. United's response included key substitutions, such as Mason Mount coming on for Noussair Mazraoui at half-time and the double change at 58 minutes with Diogo Dalot replacing Patrick Dorgu and Kobbie Mainoo for Casemiro, but these failed to break down Everton's resilient defence. Late on, Everton's tactical adjustments, including Beto replacing Iliman Ndiaye and Charly Alcaraz for Dewsbury-Hall, helped them see out the game without further incident.

Manchester United lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Casemiro anchoring the midfield until his substitution and Bryan Mbeumo providing width before his booking, while partnerships like Diogo Dalot's introduction added dynamism on the right flank, though the setup struggled to penetrate Everton's low block.

Everton deployed a 4-2-3-1 shape, relying on Idrissa Gueye in the double pivot until his early red card disrupted the balance, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall shining in an advanced role by netting the winner and James Garner delivering the key assist, forming a crucial creative partnership that held firm despite the numerical deficit.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall earned Man of the Match honours for his match-winning goal in the 29th minute, assisted by James Garner, showcasing composure under pressure while Everton were down to 10 men; his tireless work rate in the attacking midfield role disrupted United's rhythm before he was substituted late on, making him the standout performer in a hard-fought victory.
