Gueye sent off for slapping team-mate as Moyes ‘quite likes’ infighting - reaction

David Moyes ’s 10-man Everton held on to claim an extraordinary win at Manchester United after Idrissa Gueye was sent off just 13 minutes into the match for slapping team-mate Michael Keane .

Gueye became the first Premier League player to be sent off for fighting a team-mate since 2008 after raising his left hand to slap Keane, following an argument over a loose pass from Gueye that had presented a chance to Bruno Fernandes.

Referee Tony Harrington immediately produced the red card , which was confirmed by VAR Paul Howard, and Everton then stunned Old Trafford by taking the lead thanks to a stunning strike from Kienan Dewsbury-Hall on the half-hour mark.

Improbably, Dewsbury-Hall’s goal was enough for Everton to claim their first win at Old Trafford since 2013 , when Moyes was United manager, and the hosts’ recent resurgence under Ruben Amorim . But the red card remained the big talking point.

On Sky Sports, Gary Neville said Gueye’s slap did not warrant a sending off, adding: "They were not fighting, it wasn't a scrap. It could have been dealt with by a yellow. I don't think it needed to be a red."

But the Premier League said: “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.”
