Idrissa Gueye gets bizarre red card but is praised for it by David Moyes
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…

Bizarrely enough, when he was asked about it after the game, Everton manager David Moyes said he actually liked seeing his players fight each other.
Watch below as the Scottish tactician also explained that Gueye apologised for the incident and praised his teammates for their performance in what ended up being an impressive 1-0 victory away to United…

Gary Neville responds to Idrissa Gueye red card for Everton
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.

United have been in good form recently, but Everton pulled off a superb win to give their season a real boost.
Ruben Amorim had been making real progress with the Red Devils, taking them to a five-game unbeaten run, but that run has now come to an end despite them being up against ten men for so much of yesterday’s game.
