Idrissa Gana Gueye was sent off just 13 minutes into Everton’s match at Manchester United after slapping his own team-mate Michael Keane.<\/p>\n
The pair squared up after Gueye\u2019s poor pass inside the box gifted a chance to United skipper Bruno Fernandes, who fired narrowly wide.<\/p>\n
Gueye was irate and raised his left hand to slap Keane, with referee Tony Harrington immediately producing a red card, which was confirmed by VAR Paul Howard.<\/p>\n
The Premier League Match Centre said: “The referee\u2019s call of red card to Gueye for violent conduct was checked and confirmed by VAR \u2013 with the action deemed to be a clear strike to the face of Keane.”<\/p>\n
Even after being dismissed, Gueye had to be restrained by Jordan Pickford before eventually making his way down the tunnel.<\/p>\n
It forced David Moyes into a second reshuffle, coming only three minutes after Seamus Coleman\u2019s first Premier League start of the season was ended prematurely through injury.<\/p>\n
Despite the early bizarre red card, Everton went on to win 1-0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Idrissa Gana Gueye was sent off just 13 minutes into Everton’s match at Manchester United after slapping his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":157628,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-157740","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157628"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
