'Moment of madness' as Toffees shock United

EVERTON survived an astonishing moment of madness at Old Trafford on Monday when Idrissa Gueye was sent off for slapping teammate Michael Keane to beat Manchester United 1-0.

Senegal midfielder Gueye was given his marching orders by referee Tony Harrington in the 13th minute after putting his hand to Keane's face following an angry altercation.

The home crowd anticipated waves of attack but United failed to take advantage, proving toothless against David Moyes' battling team. Instead, it was the 10-man visitors who seized the initiative, courtesy of a wonderful strike by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the 29th minute.

United, missing injured forwards Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, huffed and puffed but could not find an equaliser despite twenty-five shots on goal to Everton's three.

Goalscorer Dewsbury-Hall, addressing the red-card incident after the match, said Gueye had apologised. "It was just a moment of madness," he told Sky Sports.
