November 25th After Everton defeated Manchester United 1-0 away from home, Everton coach Moyes accepted an interview with Sky Sports.

He said: "I'm very proud of the players and the fans who came here today because I know it's become normal for us not to get good results here. We came close to getting results many times but never crossed that line, but tonight we did it with one less person. I think this is probably the hardest way for us to get good results here."

"At the end of the game, I feel for all the fans who came to support. It's a pity because obviously we had to sit deep in defense for most of the game. I thought we started really well and looked pretty comfortable, but the red card changed the game. The resilience and tenacity that Everton showed at the back was really good and the players showed that tonight.

"It wouldn't have been an easy game with 11 men, but with 10 men the performance was unbelievable. The most important thing is the outstanding performance of the goalkeeper and the tenacity of the defense. It is difficult to fault the performance of the players. "

Regarding Coleman's injury, Moyes said: "I am surprised that he is injured because he has played a few minutes recently. He just felt a little strain in his hamstring and that affected us a little bit. This kind of thing happens very often in football and you have to learn to deal with it. "
