In the 12th round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 0-1 at home to Everton. Originally, Manchester United was looking forward to a 3-goal victory and ranking among the top 4, but this 0-1 meant that Manchester United fell to 10th place. Everton, who had been fighting with 10 men for a long time, became the big winner.

Red cards are not uncommon on the football field. Fouls, rude words and other behaviors will lead to red cards. However, Everton's red card made fans call it "see you again". Let's review the whole process of this red card:

In the 12th minute of the game, Everton blocked Manchester United's attack. Gueye passed the ball in his own penalty area, preparing to cooperate with teammate Michael Keane. However, Keane did not understand Gueye's intentions. Manchester United got the ball, and B Fee's shot missed.

Gueye was very angry, yelled at teammate Michael Keane, and punched continuously to express his dissatisfaction. Objectively speaking, this mistake was indeed Keane's fault, and the 32-year-old central defender did not have much excuse.

The 27-year-old Gueye refused to give up. He walked up to Keane and cursed all the way, accusing and roaring, looking like he was about to fight. The two confronted each other on the spot and pushed each other. Gueye actually reached out and slapped Keane!

Everton goalkeeper Pickford saw the whole process and quickly stepped forward to separate the two. Gueye and Keane were still bickering. Gueye turned around and wanted to hit Keane, but Pickford hugged him tightly. Another Everton player Ndiaye also stepped forward to offer some kind words.

The referee showed a direct red card and sent Gueye off. Being sent off for hitting a teammate with a red card is indeed a scene that will never happen again. OPTA gives data:

The last Premier League player to hit a teammate and get sent off with a red card was Ricardo Fuller. In the 2008 Premier League, Stoke City vs. West Ham United, Ricardo Fuller slapped Andy Griffin. Going back further, in the 2005 Premier League Newcastle vs. Villa, Bowyer and Dyer had a fight on the field, with one player and one red.

However, Gueye got red early, and Everton, who fought with 10 men, was the winner in the end. Coach Moyes even joked: "I quite like watching my players fight! It means being tough and pursuing victory." After the game, Gueye apologized to the team, and the matter was dismissed.
