Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson asked Martin Atkinson why he had sent Luka Milivojevic off and claimed that his captain's challenge had not been a foul after watching his side lose at Wolves.

Referee Atkinson consulted a pitchside monitor before showing the Palace skipper a red card for an 86th-minute tackle on Joao Moutinho, causing Hodgson to suggest that the dismissal had been the low point of the 2-0 defeat.

Frustrated Hodgson told BBC Sport: 'My view is it's not a sending off and I've told Martin Atkinson that.

Riedewald, a 2017 signing in the short-lived Frank de Boer period, made his first Premier League start since a 3-0 defeat to Leicester in the 2019/20 season.
