West Brom boss Di Matteo: Mulumbu must be smarter

West Bromwich Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo offered no excuses for Youssouf Mulumbu's dismissal in their 4-1 win at Everton.

The Democratic Republic of Congo international received his first yellow card for over-celebrating his goal and the second came moments later for a challenge on Steven Pienaar.

The goal and the two cards all came within the space of three minutes.

Di Matteo said: "He needs to learn a bit, but I think the second yellow card was a bit harsh. I don't think he touched the opponent and I think he got the ball as well.

"If we have yellow cards for those challenges we should have 20 in every game."
