Wolves boss Vitor Pereira insists Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate should have been sent off before he was substituted at half-time in nervy victory

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira fumed Ibrahima Konate should have been sent off as Liverpool recorded a nail-biting 2-1 win at Anfield to keep up their seven-point lead atop the Premier League.

French defender Konate had been shown a yellow card after half an hour for tugging back Matheus Cunha when he was on the counter-attack and then committed a foul on the same player minutes later that could have resulted in a second yellow.
