MANCHESTER, England -- Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye was sent off after just 13 minutes of their Premier League clash with Manchester United on Monday after slapping teammate Michael Keane.
Gueye was caught by referee Tony Harrington striking Keane in the face during an argument between the pair early in the first half at Old Trafford.
The confrontation occurred after a misplaced pass from Gueye to Keane in Everton's penalty area led to a chance for Bruno Fernandes.
Gueye was immediately shown a red card by Harrington and subsequently had to be held back by both Jordan Pickford and Iliman Ndiaye as he tried to continue his argument with Keane.
It's not the first time teammates have been involved in an altercation on the pitch.
In 2005, Newcastle teammates Lee Bowyer and Kieran Dyer were involved in a confrontation during a Premier League game with Aston Villa which resulted in both players being shown red cards.
Blackburn Rovers pair David Batty and Graeme Le Saux were also involved in a fiery on-field argument in a Champions League tie against Spartak Moscow in 1995.
