Wolves boss Gary O'Neill reveals he will seek explanation for refereeing decisions after claiming Brentford should have had two players sent off in FA Cup draw - and admits 'I have to tread very carefully now'

Gary O'Neil will seek an explanation for the decisions which went against Wolves in their 1-1 FA Cup draw.

Wanderers boss O'Neil had no complaints with Joao Gomes' red card - but he felt the Bees should have had two players sent off.

In a niggly encounter, Gomes was given his marching orders after only nine minutes for chopping down Bees captain Christian Norgaard.

But O'Neil pointed to a similar challenge from Mikkel Damsgaard on Tommy Doyle which went unpunished.

O'Neil also felt Brentford's Keane Lewis-Potter should have been sent off for grabbing Nelson Semedo in a stoppage-time melee.

'I didn't get any explanation,' he said. 'I'm on two yellow cards as well, harsh cards, so I had to tread very carefully.

'I don't think I deserved the last two, so I'm not really sure where the line is, so me asking questions and having conversations can result in me being booked.

'I decided to try not to, but I will go and see them and ask for an explanation when everything's calmed down. But the explanation won't help us really.'

A rocket from Doyle kept Wolves in the cup despite playing with 10 men for more than 80 minutes.

They were trailing to Neal Maupay's first-half goal when the Manchester City loanee struck from 20 yards to secure a 1-1 draw.

'I've never hit a shot so sweetly with my left foot,' Doyle told the club website.

'With those balls, whenever you get the opportunity to have a shot, they move a lot, so you've got to try and put your foot through it. I hit it really nicely and thankfully it went in.'

Denmark international Norgaard had to be helped from the pitch and could face another spell on the sidelines to add to Brentford's injury problems.

But the return of fellow midfielder Josh Dasilva, for his first appearance since August, was at least one bright spot for boss Thomas Frank.

'The big positive was Josh - that he played 60 minutes and showed some of the quality he's got. We're very pleased to see him out there on the pitch,' said Frank.
