Everton boss Sean Dyche insists Ibrahima Konate should've seen red for Liverpool after today's derby defeat.

Liverpool won 2-0 thanks to a double from Mohamed Salah, with Ashley Young sent off midway through the first-half for Everton. Dyche insists Konate also should've been dismissed for a foul on Beto while on a yellow card.

Dyche later said: "They are a good side, we know that. But we defended very well. Red card is touch and go. Second one is a yellow.

"The penalty changes the game and it's difficult after that. I don't like the modern rule. I liked it when you had to make a deliberate act."

On the Konate foul, he also said: "I have no clue. I asked the referee. He felt it wasn't a bookable offence. I don't know what it is then. Klopp couldn't wait to get him off. He knows and we know.

"I got a yellow card! I don't know what for. For gesticulating what everyone in the stadium is thinking. I've seen the footage back. In a second, the ref is going no chance. I'd be amazing if anyone out there thinks it wasn't a yellow."
