Shows they care – David Moyes on Idrissa Gana Gueye’s red for fighting teammate

David Moyes refused to condemn Idrissa Gana Gueye for his bizarre red card as Everton clung on to beat Manchester United 1-0 and give the Scot his first win at Old Trafford as a visiting manager.

Gueye saw red 13 minutes in to the game, squaring up to teammate Michael Keane and slapping the defender as they argued over a mis-placed pass which gave Bruno Fernandes a shooting chance he could not convert.

That left Everton under the cosh but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s fine 29th-minute goal gave them a lead, then they fought doggedly to defend against an increasingly frustrated United side who saw a five-game unbeaten run come to an end.

“When I saw it I didn’t think there was anything in it,” Moyes said. “I was a bit annoyed they were challenging each other but I was also quite pleased they were fighting each other because it shows me they cared.

"He's snapped at his OWN team-mate"
