Toffees Teammates Applaud Gueye After Sincere Apology for Michael Keane Incident
Idrissa Gueye received a round of applause from his Everton teammates after delivering an apology for his shocking dismissal during the recent victory at Old Trafford.
Rare Incident in Premier League
The midfielder earned the distinction of being the first Premier League player to be dismissed for hitting a teammate in nearly two decades when he slapped his defensive colleague during the fixture. The Toffees' display was remarkable as they played with a man down for the majority of the game, including added time, to secure David Moyes' first win at Old Trafford as a visiting manager in 18 attempts.
'My first apology goes to Michael Keane,' Gueye stated on social media. 'I take full responsibility for my reaction.'
Dressing Room Reaction
The Senegalese international did not get an opportunity to speak with Moyes or his colleagues at half-time. Following the match, with the visitors' locker room buzzing after the narrow victory, the 36-year-old asked to speak to the whole team and Keane specifically.
- He expressed regret to Keane for slapping him across the face
- The heated 13th-minute confrontation occurred after a poor distribution in his own defensive third
- He also said sorry to the squad for leaving them with a monumental task
- His apology were positively accepted by the players
Possible Consequences
Gueye may yet be punished by the club despite Moyes' statement that he likes his team members competing with each other. The Scot has a regular punishment process for red and yellow cards, including fines, which is likely to be implemented in Gueye's case.
Suspension and National Team Duty
The Merseyside club may find themselves without their key player until the new year. Gueye will complete a three-match ban against Newcastle, Bournemouth and Forest but could be selected for Africa Cup of Nations responsibilities by his national team before he becomes eligible to play against Chelsea on 13 December.
'Passions can sometimes overflow,' he added. 'However, there's no excuse for such conduct.'
Opposition Reaction
Meanwhile, Mathijs de Ligt accused United of lacking immediacy in the recent defeat, which ended their unbeaten run at five games.
- 'The Premier League is not for the weak,' said the Netherlands international
- 'We lacked that urgency to score goals,'
- 'Against a team like Everton,' who drop back it becomes challenging
United head to Crystal Palace for Sunday's lunchtime start. 'Our upcoming match is absolutely crucial,' commented De Ligt. 'We must recover strongly from this display.'
