Wolves defender Saiss: Ref lost control in Liverpool defeat

Wolves defender Romain Saiss slammed ref Craig Pawson after defeat to Liverpool last night.

Saiss believes Wolves should have been awarded a penalty during the first half of the game when Nelson Seemed was taken down by Alisson Becker.

The Wolves right-back had attempted to poke the ball home after the Liverpool goalkeeper dropped a cross from Adama Traore.

But Alisson appeared to barge him straight to the floor, only for Pawson to tell him to get straight up again.

And speaking afterwards, Saiss didn't mince his words when discussing the officiating of the game.

"It was clearly a penalty," he said of the incident.

"I think the referee lost a bit the control of the game in the second half but we have to do more to score goals."
