Everton boss Sean Dyche slams VAR 'slow-mo' following Calvert-Lewin red card

Everton manager Sean Dyche criticised VAR's use of "slow-mo" when reviewing a decision that resulted in a red card for Toffees striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the goalless FA Cup third-round tie at Crystal Palace.

Nathaniel Clyne went down wincing following a sliding tackle by Calvert-Lewin, who appeared to catch the Palace defender’s shin with his studs.

Referee Chris Kavanagh went to review the incident on the pitchside monitor and decided the contact was enough to dismiss the Everton striker, the first red card of his career.

Dyche, though, was again unimpressed by the VAR intervention. “I think slow-mo shows a different picture,” he told ITV Sport. “If you are going to slow-mo things, then you are going to have to slow-mo the penalty on Beto or what could have been a penalty. “[Joachim] Andersen has got his arms clearly around him, cupping his body.
