"The Football Association rejected Everton's appeal against Idrissa Gueye's red card without providing an explanation, David Moyes has said. Gueye, 36, was shown a straight red card for slapping his own team-mate, Michael Keane, in Everton's 1-0 win at Manchester United on Monday. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford separated the clashing pair before referee Tony Harrington dismissed Gueye in the 13th minute."
"The standard punishment for a dismissal for violent conduct is a three-match suspension, which would mean Gueye misses Premier League games against Newcastle, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest. "We have appealed [against the red card] and our appeal was turned down," Everton manager Moyes told a media conference on Friday. "We haven't been given any reason why it was turned down, but we did appeal it - immediately.""
Idrissa Gueye was shown a straight red card in the 13th minute for slapping teammate Michael Keane during Everton's 1-0 win at Manchester United. Jordan Pickford separated the two players before referee Tony Harrington dismissed Gueye. The FA rejected Everton's appeal against the red card without providing a reason. A dismissal for violent conduct normally carries a three-match suspension, which would sideline Gueye for matches against Newcastle, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest. Gueye has started every Premier League game and is due to join Senegal for the Africa Cup of Nations. Everton face injuries to Merlin Rohl and captain Seamus Coleman.
