Mark Clattenburg says Willy Boly’s red card was unfortunate and City’s penalty was correct call

Manchester City blew 10-man Wolverhampton Wanderers away on Monday night, comfortably winning 3-0 to keep the pressure on table-topping Liverpool and maintain the four-point distance between them.

But things might have been different if the visitors ended the game with all players given how tough they have been against the top sides.

Wolves defender Willy Boly was shown his marching orders in the 19th minute after a harsh challenge on Bernardo Silva, but former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg reckons he was unfortunate to have been sent off.

Raheem Sterling won a penalty which Gabriel Jesus converted to get his brace, and while many question the decision of Craig Pawson to award the spot-kick, Clattenburg believes it was the right call.
