The Premier League has clarified that Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye received a direct dismissal against Manchester United for striking teammate Michael Keane during a first-half incident. Officials determined the clash constituted violent conduct after the pair collided following a wayward attempt by Bruno Fernandes, with VAR confirming the referee's judgment that Gueye had made clear contact with Keane's face.
Despite playing a man down, the Toffees took a surprise advantage before the interval through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's spectacular strike. The dismissal appeared to inspire rather than deflate the hosts as they responded with improved intensity.
