Manchester United versus Everton, a match currently underway at Old Trafford and closing out the 12th round of the PL this Monday (24), featured a rare and bizarre incident.
After an attempt by the Red Devils, Gana Gueye and Keane, both Toffees players, started arguing.

Referee Tony Harrington was watching everything closely. And he gave Gueye a red card for unsporting conduct.
Everton had already seen veteran Coleman leave the game with a possible injury at the ten-minute mark and were left with one less player at 13'.
Watch the full incident below:
Pickford had his work cut out convincing Gueye to leave the pitch.

It's been a while since this happened...
The last player to be sent off for a disagreement with a teammate in the PL was then-Jamaican striker Ricardo Fuller.
