US EditionBizarre Red Cards: Gueye Joins List Including Zidane, Simunic and Hazard After Slapping Own Teammate
Gueye's red card for violent conduct confirmed by VAR, leading to his suspension and Everton playing with 10 men early in the match, impacting their performance.
- On Nov. 24, 2025, Idrissa Gueye was sent off after striking teammate Michael Keane during Everton Football Club's match with Manchester United.
- After only 3 minutes, the flashpoint occurred when Gueye confronted Keane inside Everton's penalty area while the ball was dead.
- Match officials later confirmed that Tony Harrington, referee, produced a straight red while VAR checked and confirmed the dismissal, after the pair squared up and Gueye appeared to make contact with Keane's face, with Jordan Pickford intervening.
- Reduced to ten men, Everton still saw Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall score in the 29th minute, while Gueye will miss their Saturday tea-time clash with Newcastle United through suspension.
- The incident joins a short list of intra-team dismissals, including Ricardo Fuller's 2008 red card and the Lee Bowyer–Kieron Dyer 2005 fracas on the historical list of unusual red cards.
