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

Dive into Coral’s 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.

The match at Old Trafford began with Everton forced into an early change as Séamus Coleman made way for Jake O'Brien in the 10th minute, before things worsened for the visitors when Idrissa Gueye received a red card in the 13th minute, leaving them with ten men.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Everton took the lead through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's normal goal in the 29th minute, assisted by James Garner, shifting the momentum as Manchester United struggled to capitalise on their possession dominance. As the first half drew to a close, Bryan Mbeumo picked up a yellow card in the 45+2' minute for United, setting the stage for a tense second period.

Manchester United responded at half-time with Noussair Mazraoui being replaced by Mason Mount in the 46th minute, but Casemiro's yellow card in the 49th minute compounded their frustrations. Further changes saw Patrick Dorgu and Casemiro make way for Diogo Dalot and Kobbie Mainoo, respectively, in the 58th minute, yet United could not find a breakthrough against a resilient Everton defence.

Late substitutions from Everton, including Beto for Iliman Ndiaye and Tyler Iroegbunam for Thierno Barry in the 81st minute, followed by Dwight McNeil for Jack Grealish in the 87th minute and Charly Alcaraz for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the 88th minute, helped them see out a hard-fought victory in a goalless second half for both sides.

Manchester United dominated possession with 70% compared to Everton's 30%, which translated into a significant edge in corners at 9-1, allowing them numerous set-piece opportunities that ultimately went unconverted, highlighting their inefficiency in the final third despite the visitors playing with ten men for most of the match.

Successful dribbles were closely contested at 50 for United and 40 for Everton, suggesting both teams had moments of individual flair, but United's two yellow cards and Everton's one red card disrupted the flow, with the early sending-off forcing Everton into a defensive posture that they maintained effectively.

Substitutions played a key role, with United using three—Mount on for Mazraoui at 46', Dalot for Dorgu at 58', and Mainoo for Casemiro at 58'—in attempts to inject energy, while Everton deployed all five, starting with O'Brien for Coleman at 10' and ending with late changes like Alcaraz for Dewsbury-Hall at 88', aiding their resilience; the single assist recorded for Everton underscored their clinical moment that decided the game, with no penalties or injury-time goals influencing the outcome.

The match's early turning point came in the 13th minute when Everton's Idrissa Gueye was shown a red card, reducing the Toffees to ten men and seemingly handing the initiative to Manchester United, though the hosts failed to make the most of it.

This was compounded by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's decisive normal goal in the 29th minute, assisted by James Garner, which gave Everton an unlikely lead despite their numerical inferiority and proved to be the game's defining moment. Key substitutions also shaped the contest, such as United's double change in the 58th minute, where Diogo Dalot replaced Patrick Dorgu and Kobbie Mainoo came on for Casemiro, aiming to bolster their attack, while Everton's early switch of Jake O'Brien for Séamus Coleman in the 10th minute helped stabilise their defence amid the chaos.

Manchester United lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with a solid back three providing the foundation for their possession-based approach, while the wing-backs offered width and overlapping runs to support the two attacking midfielders behind the lone striker.

Standout partnerships included the central midfield duo, where Casemiro's experience complemented the energy around him before his substitution, allowing for effective ball recovery and distribution. This setup facilitated their dribbling success and corner accumulation, though it lacked the cutting edge in front of goal.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall earned Man of the Match honours for his pivotal contribution to Everton's victory, scoring the only goal of the game in the 29th minute with composure under pressure and demonstrating strong involvement in build-up play throughout.

His assist tally might have been zero, but his overall influence in midfield, combining defensive work with attacking threat despite the team's red card, stood out against a dominant United side. Dewsbury-Hall's performance was all the more impressive as he started the match and only departed late in the 88th minute when replaced by Charly Alcaraz, underlining his endurance in a challenging encounter.

Coral’s Man of the Match was Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, whose outstanding performance included six crucial saves to keep a clean sheet, denying Manchester United despite their pressure, along with two clearances and two punches that helped repel numerous threats and secure the vital three points for his side.
