Incredible: Gana Gueye sent off for slapping his teammate

Idrissa Gana Gueye was sent off as early as the 13th minute in the match between Everton and Manchester United after slapping his teammate Michael Keane.

The incident occurred after a misplaced pass from Gueye inside the box, which handed Bruno Fernandes a golden chance. Clearly provoked and shoved by Michael Keane following the mistake, Gana Gueye lost his temper and struck him in the face. Referee Tony Harrington did not hesitate to show a straight red card to the Senegalese midfielder.

Gana Gueye thus becomes the first Premier League player to be sent off for hitting a teammate since Ricardo Fuller struck Andy Griffin (Stoke City) back in December 2008.
