Gueye became the first Premier League<\/a> 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. <\/p>\n Referee Tony Harrington immediately produced the red card<\/a>, which was confirmed by VAR Paul Howard, and Everton then stunned Old Trafford by taking the lead thanks to a stunning strike from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on the half-hour mark. <\/p>\n Improbably, Dewsbury-Hall\u2019s goal was enough for Everton to claim their first win at Old Trafford since 2013<\/a>, when Moyes was United manager, and end the hosts\u2019 recent resurgence under Ruben Amorim<\/a>. But the red card remained the big talking point, with Moyes backing his players afterwards, saying \u201cI 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.\u201d <\/p>\n On Sky Sports, Gary Neville said Gueye\u2019s slap did not warrant a sending off, adding: \u201cThey 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.\u201d But the Premier League<\/a> said: \u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Follow all the fallout from a remarkable evening at Old Trafford below:<\/p>\n Manchester United vs Everton live<\/a>David Moyes says Idrissa Gueye has apologised for slap<\/p>\n Idrissa Gueye apologised to Michael Keane and his team-mates after he was sent off for slapping the Everton defender.<\/p>\n “I’m disappointed we get the sending off,\u201d David Moyes said. \u201cBut we’ve all been footballers, we get angry with our team-mates.<\/p>\n \u201cHe’s apologised for the sending off, he’s praised the players and thanked them for it and apologised for what happened.”<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a moment of madness, avoidable,\u201d Kienan Dewsbury-Hall said. <\/p>\n But all I can say is Idrissa has apologised to us at full-time, said his piece and that’s all he can do. We move on from it. The reaction from us, was unbelievable. Top tier. We could have crumbled but if anything, it made us grow.<\/p>\n Jamie Braidwood25 November 2025 08:55<\/p>\n <\/a>Everton now above Liverpool in the Premier League<\/p>\n To make last night even sweeter for the Toffees, Everton are now above Liverpool in the Premier League table. They remain in the bottom half, but push Liverpool down to 12th.<\/p>\n Jamie Braidwood25 November 2025 08:25<\/p>\n <\/a>David Moyes on Idrissa Gueye\u2019s red card: \u2018I like my players fighting each other\u2019<\/p>\n David Moyes won at Manchester United as an away manager for the first time in 18 attempts as he praised the \u201ctogetherness and resilience\u201d of his Everton team despite Idrissa Gueye\u2019s red card for slapping team-mate Michael Keane.<\/p>\n On an extraordinary night at Old Trafford, Everton became the first team in Premier League history to beat United away from home while down to 10 men, as Moyes defeated his former employers.<\/p>\n \u201cI got told that the rules of the game that if you slap your own player, you could be in trouble,\u201d Moyes said. <\/p>\n \u201cBut 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Jamie Braidwood25 November 2025 07:55<\/p>\n <\/a>WATCH: The moment Idrissa Gueye was sent off for slapping team-mate<\/p>\n Jamie Braidwood25 November 2025 07:25<\/p>\n <\/a>How Everton showed the right \u2018fight\u2019 after Idrissa Gueye\u2019s moment of madness<\/p>\n A slap in the face from Idrissa Gueye became a kick in the teeth for Ruben Amorim. The stinging blow was not the one that brought perhaps the season\u2019s strangest sending off. Not as Manchester United\u2019s unbeaten run came to an abrupt, abject end. If ignominy seemed to belong to Everton when Gueye was shown the red card, theirs was a defiant glory. The team who fought each other beat the team with no fight.<\/p>\n On a night of unexpected incidents, a footballer was sent off for violent conduct against a team-mate and David Moyes won at Old Trafford. Some may wonder which was the odder.<\/p>\n Richard Jolly25 November 2025 06:55<\/p>\n <\/a>Why was Idrissa Gueye sent off after fighting with Everton team-mate?<\/p>\n Everton\u2019s Idrissa Gueye was sent off just 13 minutes into his side\u2019s match at Manchester United after slapping team-mate Michael Keane in an extraordinary incident that left the visitors down to 10 men at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n Everton went on to claim a stunning victory after playing for more than 80 minutes down to 10 men as David Moyes and his players held on to the advantage secured by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall\u2019s first-half strike.<\/p>\n But the big talking point came early in the game as Gueye became the first Premier League player to be sent off for fighting a team-mate since 2008.<\/p>\n Jamie Braidwood25 November 2025 05:55<\/p>\n <\/a>David Moyes delighted with 10-man Everton’s win at Old Trafford <\/p>\n After 18 attempts as an away manager in the Premier League, David Moyes has a victory at Old Trafford. <\/p>\n And it comes as his Everton team became the first side in Premier League to win at Old Trafford while receiving a red card. <\/p>\n “Incredibly proud of the players and the supporters here today because we’ve had so many encounters here where we’ve not got a result,\u201d Moyes said. <\/p>\n “We’ve come close but not been able to get over the line. But incredibly we’ve got over the line with 10- men, which is the hardest way to get a result here.<\/p>\n “I felt for the supporters who made the journey because for a long parts of the game we had to sit in and defend. We started with the game brilliantly well, passed the ball well, looked quite comfortable then we go the sending off which meant the game changed. The resilience and toughness behind the scenes at Everton is really good.\u201d <\/p>\n Jamie Braidwood25 November 2025 04:55<\/p>\n <\/a>Idrissa Gueye apologises for red card: ‘Nothing justifies such behaviour’ <\/p>\n Gueye was sent off for violent conduct, he will serve a three-man ban. However, the Senegal international will go to the Africa Cup of Nations at the start of December, so he may not play for Everton again for a couple of months. <\/p>\n Gueye later apologised for the incident in a social media post. \u201cI want to apologise first to my teammate Michael Keane. I take full responsibility for my reaction,” he wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n \u201cI also apologise to my teammates, the staff, the fans and the club. What happened does not reflect who I am or the values I stand for. Emotions can run high, but nothing justifies such behaviour.<\/p>\n \u201cI’ll make sure it never happens again.”<\/p>\n Jamie Braidwood25 November 2025 03:55<\/p>\n![\"Idrissa](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/9843f9a9fb5b2cc47a99c287b346a139Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzY0MTEzNjg2-2.82546305.jpg\")
