Everton’s Idrissa Gueye has broken his silence following his shocking red card for violent conduct in the fixture against Man United in the Premier League.
Senegal midfielder Idrissa Gueye has spoken out about the shocking red card he received during Everton’s match against Manchester United on Monday night. The midfielder was sent off in the first half after raising his hand toward teammate Michael Keane during an on-pitch altercation
The incident began when Keane appeared frustrated with Gueye for losing possession in a dangerous area, which allowed Manchester United to get a shot on goal.
The confrontation quickly escalated as both players pushed and exchanged heated words. During the exchange, Gueye’s hand made contact with Keane’s face. Although goalkeeper Jordan Pickford intervened and separated the pair, Gueye was later shown a red card.
Gueye issued an apology in a statement shared on his Instagram story, saying:
“I want to apologise first to my teammate Michael Keane. I take full responsibility for my reaction. I also apologise to my teammates, the staff, the fans, and the club. What happened does not reflect who I am or the values I stand for. Emotions can run high, but nothing justifies such behaviour. I’ll make sure it never happens again.”
