Wolves players fiercely protested the decision, but the call stood and Julen Lopetegui’s side had to play over two thirds of the game with 10 men.

The sending off didn’t impact them too much however, with the visitors coming from 1-0 down to secure a 2-1 win as they continue their revival under their new manager.
