After Fernandes’s shot, Gueye appeared to furiously berate defender Keane.
The pair appeared to go head-to-head, before Gueye slapped his team-mate.
Referee Tony Harrington immediately brandished his red card, sending the 36-year-old off.
At this point Gueye appeared to get even angrier, needing to be held back by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
