Martin Keown hit out at referee Michael Oliver for sending Gabriel Martinelli off for two fouls in the same sequence of play against Wolves, describing the decision as 'pedantic'.
In an astonishing five seconds, Martinelli tried to stop Wolves from taking a quick throw in and pushed over a player before haring back up the pitch in pursuit of Chiquinho, who he also sent tumbling.
The Brazilian looked like he expected to get booked but was shocked to see Oliver brandish two yellow cards and then a red card.
