Silva convinced Jagielka sending off was harsh
Everton coach Marco Silva is convinced the red card shown to Phil Jagielka in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wolves was harsh.
Jagielka was handed a straight red in the first half for what referee Craig Pawson deemed to be a reckless lunge, catching Diogo Jota on the ankle after a poor first touch in his own defensive third left the former England defender in trouble.
Ruben Neves scored from the resulting free-kick to cancel out Richarlison's opener, though Everton showed admirable character to go ahead again in the second half - the Brazilian winger getting his second of the game.
Wolves ultimately rescued a draw through Raul Jimenez and Silva was left ruing Pawson's decision.
