"Idrissa Gueye received a round of applause from the Everton squad after apologising for his extraordinary red card in Monday's victory at Manchester United. The midfielder became the first Premier League player to be dismissed for striking a team-mate in 17 years when slapping Michael Keane at Old Trafford. Everton's performed heroically with 10 men for 85 minutes, stoppage time included, to hand David Moyes his first win at Old Trafford as a visiting manager in 18 attempts"
"Gueye apologised to the defender for slapping him across the face. Their heated 13th-minute altercation followed the midfielder's misplaced pass inside his own penalty area, which presented a chance to Bruno Fernandes. He also apologised to the squad for leaving them with a monumental task at Old Trafford and thanked them for pulling it off. Gueye's words were warmly received by the squad, who gave him a round of applause."
Idrissa Gueye was sent off for slapping team-mate Michael Keane at Old Trafford, becoming the first Premier League player dismissed for striking a team-mate in 17 years. Everton played with ten men for 85 minutes and won 1-0, giving David Moyes his first away victory at Old Trafford in 18 attempts and only the club's second win there in 33 years. Gueye apologised directly to Keane and addressed the squad, thanking teammates and receiving applause. Everton may apply standard disciplinary measures for cards. Gueye will serve a three-match suspension and could be released for Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations.
