Idrissa Gueye: Everton Midfielder Sent Off Striking Team-Mate Michael Keane

On Monday at Old Trafford, Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye was sent off after slapping Michael Keane about 13 minutes into the match, with the Premier League Match Centre and VAR confirming violent conduct.
After a loose pass from Idrissa Gueye, Bruno Fernandes went close and tempers flared as Michael Keane gestured to his head inside Everton's 18-yard box before Gueye struck him.
A brilliant finish before the break and strong goalkeeping decided the match as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall curled a goal just before half-time and Jordan Pickford denied a Joshua Zirkzee header with 10 minutes left.
The 1-0 result gave Everton a famous win at Old Trafford, halting Manchester United's five-game unbeaten run under Ruben Amorim and marking a rare home defeat.
With apologies issued, Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye apologised at half-time and after the match, and the red card, classified as violent conduct under the laws of the game, is the first Premier League sending-off for fighting with a teammate since 2008.
