Slaven Bilic: West Brom boss wanted explanation before being sent off

West Brom boss Slaven Bilic felt he deserved an explanation for why Everton's first goal was awarded after he was sent off in Saturday's 5-2 loss.

Bilic was dismissed as he remonstrated with referee Mike Dean at half-time.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored Everton's first, the goal initially ruled out before it was awarded by the video assistant referee.
