Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson asked Martin Atkinson why he had sent Luka Milivojevic off and claimed that his captain's challenge had not been a foul after watching his side lose at Wolves.
Referee Atkinson consulted a pitchside monitor before showing the Palace skipper a red card for an 86th-minute tackle on Joao Moutinho, causing Hodgson to suggest that the dismissal had been the low point of the 2-0 defeat.
Frustrated Hodgson told BBC Sport: 'My view is it's not a sending off and I've told Martin Atkinson that.
'He thinks there was a reason to give a red card but I've seen it as well and I certainly don't agree with that.
