A bizarre scene unfolded at Old Trafford when Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye was given a red card for striking his own teammate
A bizarre scene unfolded at Old Trafford when Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye was given a red card for striking his own teammate in the 13th minute of his club’s win over Manchester United . The peculiar incident occurred shortly after a miscommunication led to a near Manchester United goal by Bruno Fernandes, who sent his shot just over the net, saving Everton from a costly mistake.
Gueye was immediately enraged after the ball went out of play and he confronted teammate Michael Keane over what had happened.

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was walking toward the scene when he rushed in to keep the situation from escalating further, eventually grabbing hold of Gueye to help guide him off the pitch. High school football coach missing amid undefeated season with massive search underwayGueye was shown the red card for violating the violent conduct section of the IFAB laws of the game. “A player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible,” the rule states. “I want to apologise first to my teammate Michael Keane,” Gueye said in a statement. “I take full responsibility for my action. I also apologise to my teammates, the staff, the fans and the club. What happened does not reflect who I am or the values I stand for. Emotions can run high, but nothing justifies such behavior. I’ll make sure it never happens again.” Idrissa Gana Gueye of Everton is restrained by team mates Iliman Ndiaye and Jordan Pickford after clashing with Michael Keane.The ejection meant that Everton had to play the rest of the match with 10 players, but still managed to upset Manchester City with a 1-0 win. He fired a shot just inside the penalty area that was out of the reach of the Manchester United goalkeeper. The Everton win was just its second at Old Trafford in 33 Premier League matches against Manchester United.
