Ten-man Everton beat Man United 1-0 despite Gueye's red card for striking a
teammate
MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- Everton beat Manchester United 1-0 on Monday to
slow the home team's recent revival in a Premier League game that will be
remembered for an early red card shown to Everton's Idrissa Gueye for striking
teammate Michael Keane.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored with a superb strike in the 29th minute, after
which Everton was forced to defend its lead. United dominated the visiting 10
men in a one-sided second half but failed to equalize.
It was United's first defeat since losing 3-1 at Brentford almost two months
ago and the first time in 47 Premier League games that a visiting team has won
at Old Trafford with 10 men.
However, the night's unforgettable talking point came after 13 minutes.
Gueye was furious at what appeared to be Keane's failure to pick up his pass
inside the Everton penalty box. Bruno Fernandes stepped in and fired wide but
an angry Gueye confronted Keane.
Keane shoved Gueye, who responded with a slap to Keane's face. Referee Tony
Harrington displayed the red card for "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 social media post.
The Senegalese was the first player to be sent off in the Premier League for
fighting with a teammate since Stoke City's Ricardo Fuller saw red after
clashing with Andy Griffin in 2008.
Despite the setback, David Moyes' team silenced the home crowd by taking the
lead 16 minutes later when Dewsbury-Hall curled a stunning 18-meter strike into
the far corner of the net.
After that it was all United. The home side had 25 shots on Jordan Pickford's
goal, compared to Everton's three at the other end, but one goal was enough.
