Teammates applaud Gueye after apology for Keane slap
The Guardian
|November 26, 2025
Idrissa Gueye received a round of applause from the Everton squad after apologising for his extraordinary red card in Monday's victory at Manchester United.
The midfielder became the first Premier League player to be dismissed for striking a teammate in 17 years when slapping Michael Keane at Old Trafford. Everton performed heroically with 10 men for 85 minutes, stoppage time included, to hand David Moyes his first win at Old Trafford as a visiting manager in 18 attempts and deliver only the club's second victory at United in 33 years.
Gueye did not get an opportunity to speak to Moyes or his teammates at halftime. Afterwards, with the away dressing room on a high following the 1-0 win, the Senegal international asked to address the entire group as well as Keane specifically. Gueye apologised to the defender for slapping him across the face. Their heated 13th-minute altercation followed the midfielder's misplaced pass inside his own penalty area, which presented a chance to Bruno Fernandes.
