The Premier League's Key Match Incidents (KMI) Panel has unanimously voted it was correct that Hwang Hee-Chan was not sent off in the 1-1 draw with Everton earlier this month. The Wolves forward was booked by referee Tom Kirk in the 76th minute after catching Harrison Armstrong on the calf with a high challenge. Everton boss David Moyes was also angered that Michael Keane was dismissed for pulling the hair of Tolu Arokodare in the 80th minute. The KMI Panel voted 5-0 in favour of the red card. The KMI Panel said that while "the point of contact was high, there was a lack of force and intensity" and that it "supported the referee's call of a yellow card".
