"Everton's Idrissa Gueye became just the third player to be sent off in the Premier League for an offence against his own team-mate - after he struck Michael Keane in the face during his side's 1-0 win at Manchester United. The Senegal midfielder came to blows with Keane early in the game and received a straight red card for his action."
"During a miserable Champions League campaign, Blackburn and England team-mates David Batty and Graeme le Saux lost it with each other after both went for the same loose ball on a freezing night at Spartak Moscow. The incident came after only four minutes and left-back Le Saux broke his hand after punching the midfielder. In what was possibly the Premier League's most iconic case of warring team-mates, Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer traded blows in astonishing scenes."
Idrissa Gueye was sent off for striking teammate Michael Keane in the face during Everton's 1-0 win at Manchester United, receiving a straight red after coming to blows early in the game. Such dismissals against one's own team-mate are extremely rare in the Premier League. Numerous other incidents have seen teammates clash yet remain on the pitch. Examples include Bruce Grobbelaar grabbing and pushing Steve McManaman after a Merseyside derby error, David Batty and Graeme le Saux's confrontation in Moscow that left Le Saux with a broken hand, and Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer trading blows and being sent off.
