Everton manager Frank Lampard hopes to have Allan's red card rescinded but what he does not want is another apology from referees' chief Mike Riley.
It is only just over two weeks since Riley called Lampard and chairman Bill Kenwright to admit mistakes were made when VAR official Chris Kavanagh failed to advise referee Paul Tierney over a handball by Rodri which would have given the Toffees the chance of a late penalty equaliser against Manchester City.
Allan was sent off in the dramatic late win over Newcastle on Thursday night after Craig Pawson was advised to view the monitor and subsequently upgraded his yellow card to a red for the Brazilian's tackle on Allan Saint-Maximin.
