📸 Slap for team-mate: Premier League player loses the plot

Completely crazy scenes at the Premier League match between Manchester United and Everton. At the end of Matchday 12, everything seemed calm after just under 13 minutes – or so it seemed.

After a United attempt on goal, Everton’s Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane got into a heated exchange – with unpredictable consequences. After Keane gave his teammate a slight shove, Gueye completely lost his temper.

The 36-year-old slapped his own teammate in the face. While Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford separated the two and tried to calm Gueye down, referee Tony Harrington had already reacted – he showed the midfielder a straight red card.

Wild scenes reminiscent of the old DFB days. In the 2009 World Cup qualifier between Germany and Wales, Lukas Podolski also gave Michael Ballack a resounding slap in the face.
