Phelan has 'no qualms' over another handball red card

Ahmed Elmohamady's red card hindered Hull City in their 5-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield, but Mike Phelan refused to blame the referee.

Hull City caretaker manager Mike Phelan agreed with the decision to send Ahmed Elmohamady off for deliberate handball in Saturday's 5-1 defeat at Liverpool.

Liverpool already led through Adam Lallana when Elmohamady blocked Philippe Coutinho's goal-bound shot with his arm.

James Milner converted the penalty to double the hosts' advantage, before Sadio Mane added a third and Coutinho scored a brilliant fourth for the hosts.

Milner scored again from the spot to round off a comfortable home win and Phelan had "no qualms" with his side again having a player sent off for handball, following Jake Livermore's red card for the same offence against Arsenal last weekend.
