Pereira said afterwards: "I am not the referee but yes for me (it was a red card).

"What I say now will not change anything but in my opinion the second yellow card should be shown."

The Portuguese was also booked for dissent and added: "I don’t know, maybe because I am emotional when I am competing, I am not watching a movie on the sofa. I am there to compete, we must understand the emotional side of the game.

"It was not disrespectful in my opinion, I must have said but I am trying to accept a lot of decisions today. We must play the first half as we played the second half, this is what I want to see in my team - the personality, courage and identity. Wolves woke up at half time."
