Everton playmaker Jack Grealish gave his teammate Michael Keane a playful slap around the face after their impressive win over Manchester United . It was Keane's second slap of the night after his own teammate, Idrissa Gueye, was shown a red card for hitting the England international in a bizarre incident in the first half.
The two players were involved in a heated exchange before coming together just 13 minutes into the Premier League clash at Old Trafford, and had to be separated by Jordan Pickford . Gueye was visibly annoyed after Keane took umbrage as some poor play resulted in a United attack.
But with the ball out of play, the Everton duo locked horns inside their own 18-yard box, and the Senegalese international appeared to slap Keane around the face.
Despite going down to 10 men, Everton came away with all three points thanks to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's brilliant strike just before the half hour mark.
David Moyes ' side had to dig deep and their goalkeeper, Pickford, had to pull off a number of big saves to ensure his team came away with all three points.
Everton became the first team to go down to 10 men and win at Old Trafford in Premier League history, with fans still in the ground showing their support long after the full-time whistle.
The Toffees' players were jubilant with the result as they celebrated in front of the travelling Everton faithful.

Speaking after the final whistle, Moyes revealed Gueye had apologised to his teammates in the dressing room.
The Everton boss Sky Sports : "If nothing happened, I don't think anyone in the stadium would have been surprised. I thought the referee could have taken a bit longer to think about it.
"I got told that the rules of the game that if you slap your own player, you could be in trouble. But there's another side to it: I like my players fighting each other if someone didn't do the right action.
"If you want that toughness and resilience to get a result, you want someone to act on it. I'm disappointed we get the sending off.
