MOYES FURIOUS WITH MANNER OF SENDING OFF AFTER DEFENDER'S HAIR PULL ON TOLU
DAVID Moyes was left seething by the red card that caused Everton's game with Wolves to descend into chaos.
The match was in the balance when, in the 83rd minute, VAR intervened to send referee Thomas Kirk to the pitch-side monitor to review a decision that would ultimately lead to Michael Keane being shown a straight red.
Replays showed Keane appearing to pull the hair or Wolves forward Tolu Arokodare as the pair battled for the ball near the halfway line with the scores level at 1-1.
Kirk concluded the defender’s actions warranted violent contact.
Speaking after the game Moyes, clearly incensed, said: “It is not violent, it is not forceful and it is not deliberate. So all of those things I have said mean it shouldn't have been a red card.”
