Wolves boss Vitor Pereira insists Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate should have been sent OFF for violent foul on Matheus Cunha

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.

Pereira thought it was a pivotal moment in the match, especially given his team piled on the pressure in search of a late equaliser.
