Gueye’s slap becomes a blow for Amorim as 10-man Everton beat Man United

8+ hour, 20+ min ago (518+ words) Manchester United 0-1 Everton: A spirit David Moyes won at Old Trafford for the first time as an away manager - and the ridiculous red card made it all the greater a night for the Toffees On a night of unexpected incidents, a footballer was sent off for violent conduct against a team-mate and David Moyes won at Old Trafford. Some may wonder which was the odder. Because when a furious Gueye was expelled, logic suggested that the day would never come, that Moyes, seemingly ill-fated when in charge of United, was doomed to be on his return. The inquest after Bruno Fernandes whipped a shot wide took on a peculiar turn as Gueye was sent off for cuffing his own teammate Michael Keane around the ear. If there were shades of Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer for Newcastle in 2005, there was…...

Gueye had to be restrained by team-mates, including goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, as eventually made his way down the tunnel. The midfielder attempted to get to Keane - who continued to berate him....

18+ hour, 10+ min ago (904+ words) As Arsenal's key players return, the latest Inside Football newsletter from Miguel Delaney xplores how their growing dominance tests rivals mentally while highlighting wider Premier League competitive and financial shifts Before the jubilant Arsenal team returned to the dressing room on Sunday evening, some of their injured absentees made a point of going in just beforehand. That was because they wanted to applaud their teammates in, over what everyone thought was a near-perfect display. This is now the level, that they want to further raise.
