"We don't see it very often. If nothing had happened afterwards, I don't think anybody in the stadium would've been surprised,"
"I thought the referee could've maybe taken a bit longer to think about it. I've been told that if you slap your own player or if you leave an arm in, then you could be in some form of trouble, but there is another side to it."
"I quite like my players fighting each other and getting annoyed with each other. If you want a winning team, with the resilience and toughness that got us the result, then I think you've got to have players that are going to react in that way. I'm disappointed we got the sending off, but every player will tell you how angry they get with their team-mates. He has apologised in the dressing room for the sending off, praised the players endlessly for their performance tonight and thanked them for it."
Idrissa Gueye received a red card after 13 minutes for striking Everton team-mate Michael Keane in the face, but Everton still secured a 1-0 win at Old Trafford. Kieran Dewsbury-Hall scored a 28th-minute winner, and Everton produced no further shots while Manchester United registered 23 attempts, six on target. The sending off marked Everton's 110th Premier League red card, level with Arsenal. David Moyes defended his players' emotions, suggested the referee could have taken more time before issuing the red, and said Gueye apologised in the dressing room and praised the teammates for their performance.
