Idrissa Gueye apologizes for slapping his teammate

Senegal midfielder Idrissa Gueye has apologized after he was sent off during Everton’s game against Manchester United on Monday, November 25, 2025.

Idrissa Gueye was seen dishing out a slap to his teammate, Michael Keane.

It is not clear what started the disagreement between the two players, but Michael Keane was seen pushing Idrissa, who reacted by dishing out a slap.

He was sent off in the 13th minute of the game, but the club held on to beat Manchester United through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s goal.

In a post shared after the game, Idrissa Gueye said, “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”.
