'My first apology goes to Michael Keane,' Gueye stated on his accounts. 'I take full responsibility for my reaction.'

Following the match, with the visitors' locker room celebrating after the narrow victory, the 36-year-old requested to speak to the whole team and Keane specifically.

The Scot has a standard disciplinary procedure for red and yellow cards, including fines, which is expected to be implemented in Gueye's case. Suspension and National Team Commitments The Merseyside club could be without their key player until the January. The Senegalese international will complete a three-match suspension against Newcastle United, AFC Bournemouth and Forest but might be selected for AFCON responsibilities by his national team before he becomes eligible to play against the Blues on mid-December. 'Emotions can run high,' he added. 'But nothing justifies such behaviour.' Rival Perspective Meanwhile, the Manchester United defender accused his team of showing no urgency in the recent defeat, which halted their winning streak at multiple matches. 'English football doesn't tolerate weakness,' stated the Netherlands international 'We were missing the necessary intensity to find the net' 'When facing sides like Everton,' who drop back it's difficult United head to Crystal Palace for the weekend noon kickoff.
