Idrissa Gana Gueye, an Everton midfielder, received a straight red card early in the first half of the match against Manchester United, according to a statement from the Premier League. After Bruno Fernandes’ attempt went wide due to a loose ball, Gueye got into a fight with his own teammate, Michael Keane. He was sent off because the referee declared it to be “violent conduct.” “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,” the league said in a statement.Everton gained the lead before halftime thanks to a spectacular effort from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, suggesting that the sending-off inspired them.
