Soon after, Konate then barged into Cunha again and was fortunate not to see a second yellow card, just days after Liverpool was shown three red cards in the Merseyside derby. I think the referee felt the same, that’s why he didn’t [show a second yellow]. “What I say now will not change anything but in my opinion the second yellow card should be shown."
It was one of a number of controversial incidents in the game, with Wolves aggrieved a foul wasn’t given against Luis Diaz for a push on Emmanuel Agbadou seconds before Liverpool earned a first-half penalty
The Wolves defender then did have a spot-kick given against him after the break, only for referee Simon Hooper to reverse the decision following a pitchside VAR review
Agbadou and Matt Doherty were also booked after complaining to the referee in the first half, with Wolves frustrated that, in their view, several cynical Liverpool fouls to prevent counter-attacks didn’t result in yellow cards.
