Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin will miss the next three matches after a bizarre red card in last night's FA Cup draw at Crystal Palace.

The forward was shown a straight red after a VAR review, despite not making any contact with the opposition player.

Calvert-Lewin appeared to challenge for and win the ball, but his foot was deemed to be raised and too high during the motion.

Manager Sean Dyche was furious post-game, stating: It seems a bit confused at the moment.

I said recently, we had another one, where I said I don't know who is refereeing which. I am a fan, (but) I definitely think we're all aware it needs tidying up.

I thought it was getting tidied up, and then it seems to have stepped back a bit. I remain a fan at this stage, but it is beginning to test my patience even, because I look at the obvious offsides which I think is fair, that should be there, some of the others I'm going well, what's got a chance now of being let play and what's got a chance of being called, but we don't actually know."
