Walker and manager Pep Guardiola felt aggrieved at the decision and made their feelings clear to fourth official Michael Oliver.

"Calvert-Lewin’s gone down, he’s been clever, he’s been effective in the first half.

"He’s held his head and that’s what I think conned the referee.

"You could say it’s clever from Calvert-Lewin, you could say it’s cute. Personally, it’s a soft second yellow."

At the time of the incident, Everton were winning 1-0 thanks to Wayne Rooney's 200th Premier League goal.

Substitute Raheem Sterling equalised for the hosts inside the final 10 minutes of the game, with it ending 1-1 after Morgan Schneiderlin also got sent off for Everton.
