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.
