Keane’s dismissal will go down as the most unusual of recent years in the Premier League, as he tugged Tolu Arokodare’s dreadlock whilst jumping up for a header.
The defender was shown a straight red card for the offence, before manager David Moyes was also put in the book for arguing against the decision.
Everton drew 1-1 in the end thanks to an equaliser from Wolves star Mateus Mané who slotted the ball past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Making his feelings clear after the game, Tarkowski has revealed that the incident was hard to believe.
"I've never seen anything like it, I thought the decision was just bizarre
"I've just seen it back. First of all, I understand the rule that if someone pulls someone's hair intentionally, then I get that. There are a couple of components to it, really.
“First, Michael Keane is the most placid, nicest fella I know, so he's never got any intention of causing harm to anyone. He's gone to challenge for the ball and the hair is where his hand is to put his hand in his back. That's how you defend, otherwise you're just going to end up smashing your head into the back of someone else's head.
“There's no intention to pull the hair and maybe an experienced referee, who knows the player Michael Keane is, knows he's not the player to do that. I think this is the referee's second game in the Premier League, so, obviously, he doesn't know the players very well yet.”
Everton next face Sunderland in the FA Cup at the weekend and Moyes will rotate his side who also suffered the loss of Jack Grealish who was sent off alongside Keane.
