After the game, Gueye – who is in his second spell with the Toffees – apologised on social media.<\/p>\n
“I want to apologise first to my team-mate Michael Keane,” he wrote. “I take full responsibility for my reaction.<\/p>\n
“I also apologise to my team-mates, the staff, the fans and the club.<\/p>\n
“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
“I’ll make sure it never happens again.”<\/p>\n
Moyes said Gueye’s team-mates applauded when the player stood in front of the group and apologised.<\/p>\n
“Big enough to stand up and say he made a mistake. I’ve accepted it, we all move on,” added the Scot.<\/p>\n
The Premier League Match Centre posted on X after Gueye was sent off: “The referee’s call of red card to Gueye for violent conduct was checked and confirmed by VAR – with the action deemed to be a clear strike to the face of Keane.”<\/p>\n
The law for violent conduct defines a sending off offence as striking an opponent or any other person, on the head or face with their hand or arm, unless the force used was negligible.<\/p>\n
However, United boss Ruben Amorim disagreed with Gueye’s red card.<\/p>\n
“We can fight with team-mates,” said the Portuguese. “I know it’s violent conduct because the referee explained but I don’t agree.”<\/p>\n
According to Opta, it is only the third time on record (since 2000-01) a player has been sent off in the Premier League for clashing with their own team-mate, after Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer – for Newcastle against Aston Villa in 2005 – and Ricardo Fuller with Andy Griffin for Stoke in 2008 against West Ham.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
