Idrissa Gana Gueye has been sent off for slapping a team-mate during Everton's clash with Manchester United.
Just over ten minutes into the clash, after a Manchester United attack that had seen Bruno Fernandes go close, Gueye and Michael Keane squared off following a disagreement.
Keane and Gueye locked horns as the Senegalese midfielder was then seen raising his hand to his team-mate and striking him across the face. "He has snapped," Gary Neville said on Sky Sports commentary.
"He has slapped his own team-mate! There is not much in it..." Jordan Pickford had play peacemaker as he dragged Gueye away from his other team-mate.
After seeing a replay of the incident, Neville adds: "How much venom was in that slap? He has been sent off for that. Was it a little slap or a proper whack?
"There is no doubt a hand comes out to the face but it didn't look too much. They might have had to send him off purely because there is a strike to the face.
"They 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."
A post on the Premier League Match Centre's X account read: "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 incident reminded fans of Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer's infamous fight that saw both Newcastle players sent off.
