"Everton's Idrissa Gueye was shown a red card by referee Tony Harrigton after slapping teammate Michael Keane in the face in the Toffees' clash against Manchester United. The incident occurred just 13 minutes into the match with the scores level at 0. Remarkably, Everton took the lead thanks to Kiernan Desbury-Hall's stunning first half goal. Gueye and Keane exchanged words after Man Utd's Bruno Fernandes missed a scoring chance, with Keane seemingly taking exception to Gueye's effort in defence."
""The referee's call of red card to Gueye for violent conduct was checked and confirmed by VAR - with the action deemed to be a clear strike to the face of Keane," the Premier League Match Centre said. Despite the one-man disadvantage, Everton lead 1-0 midway through the second half. While hard to comprehend, it's not the first time this has occurred in an EPL match."
Idrissa Gueye slapped teammate Michael Keane 13 minutes into Everton's match against Manchester United and was shown a straight red card for violent conduct. Referee Tony Harrington issued the dismissal, and VAR reviewed and confirmed the decision, citing a clear strike to Keane's face. Gueye required restraint from two Everton players after the incident. Everton had taken the lead via Kiernan Desbury-Hall's impressive first-half goal and remained 1-0 up midway through the second half despite the numerical disadvantage. Similar teammate altercations resulting in red cards have occurred previously in the Premier League.
