Everton manager criticises referee Craig Pawson’s decisionLiverpool scored twice after failure to hand out second yellow
Sean Dyche said he was astonished by Craig Pawson’s “incredible” failure to dismiss Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté in the Merseyside derby after 10-man Everton were beaten 2-0 at Anfield.
Everton had Ashley Young sent off for two bookable offences in the first half and were eventually breached when VAR spotted a handball by Michael Keane inside his own area. Dyche had no major complaint over the eventual decision to award a penalty, converted by Mohamed Salah, nor Young’s second yellow card. But he was left seething when Konaté escaped a second yellow for a trip on the substitute Beto with the game goalless.
