They took the lead in the 29th minute, thanks to a goal from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Following their goal, Everton focused on defending their lead. They successfully kept Manchester United at bay, preventing any clear goal-scoring chances. United made several changes in the second half, but they were unable to find an equalizer. Everton’s goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, also played a crucial role, making some excellent saves, including from long-distance shots.
This loss ends Manchester United’s five-game unbeaten streak. They are now in 10th position in the league standings with 18 points. Everton, with the same number of points, is just behind them in 11th place.
