Everton boss David Moyes has already confronted Jack Grealish after the midfielder was sent off for dissent during a dramatic 1-1 draw with Wolves.
Everton manager David Moyes has disciplined Jack Grealish following the midfielder’s late dismissal during a chaotic 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The 30-year-old former Aston Villa captain received two yellow cards for dissent in the closing stages, leaving his side significantly shorthanded.
The incident occurred as Everton struggled to maintain a point against the Premier League’s bottom-placed team after Mateus Mane cancelled out the Blues’ earlier lead.
The turmoil intensified just moments before Grealish’s exit when Michael Keane was sent off for violent conduct.
Referee Thomas Kirk dismissed the defender for allegedly pulling the hair of Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare.
These consecutive red cards forced Everton to navigate nine minutes of stoppage time with only nine players.
The fallout from the “mayhem” means both Grealish and Keane are now ruled out of the upcoming FA Cup fixture against Sunderland.
Moyes expressed firm disapproval of Grealish’s conduct but remained tight-lipped regarding the specifics of the refereeing decisions.
While he declined to elaborate on the red cards themselves, the manager admitted he was “disappointed” with the playmaker’s behavior on the pitch.
When asked by reporters if he felt the need to address the matter directly with the player, Moyes simply responded: “I already have.”
