IDRISSA GUEYE has issued a grovelling apology after being sent off for slapping Michael Keane in Everton’s win over Manchester United.
The midfielder stunningly lashed out at his Toffees team-mate early on in the Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.
Gueye, 36, was shown a straight red card for violent conduct, leaving the travelling side down to ten men for most of the game.
The former Paris Saint-Germain ace has now taken to social media to apologise to Everton fans.
He took “full responsibility” for his actions and said sorry for everyone involved with Everton in a 60-word statement.
He wrote on Instagram: “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. UTT.”
