Idrissa Gueye gets bizarre red card after clashing with his own teammate for Everton vs Man United

Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye received a bizarre red card against Manchester United during Monday night’s game at Old Trafford after clashing with his own teammate Michael Keane.

Watch the video below as Gueye was clearly not happy with Keane as some sloppy play by Everton at the back led to a decent chance for Man Utd.

It didn’t amount to anything as the chance was missed, but Gueye and Keane came to blows, with the referee perhaps somewhat harshly deciding to send Gueye off.

It didn’t look like a particularly aggressive clash, but was there enough contact there to justify the red card? Take a look and decide for yourselves…

Speaking on commentary, Gary Neville said: “There’s a coming together between him and Michael Keane. It always looks unsavoury when it’s teammate on teammate.

“I don’t know what they were having a go at each other over. Idrissa Gueye has gone toward Michael Keane who hasn’t really reacted. And then he just pushes him and then there’s not much in it, there’s not much in it. I think Jordan Pickford does a very good job to be fair to him.”

Everton will now have to play the rest of the game with ten men, but so far it’s not affected them too badly, as they went on to take the lead later in the first half.

Take a look at this lovely solo effort by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as ten-man Everton ended up taking a 1-0 lead at Old Trafford…

OUTSTANDING from Dewsbury-Hall!

United have been in good form recently, but Everton are giving them a real test here, despite the home side having a one-player advantage.

It will be interesting to see how the rest of the match pans out, and what Everton manager David Moyes and other players have to say about the Gueye vs Keane incident.
