- Published
Everton boss David Moyes spoke to the media after his side's draw to Wolves: "We started OK, we got in front and should have got further in front at the time.
On what was said to the referee: "I'll keep that between the referee and me.
On Michael Keane's red card: "It wasn't a deliberate action of pulling the hair. It certainly wasn't violent.
"If you have longer hair, then there's a fair chance you'll get it pulled. If you don't have it long then you won't get it pulled.
Any defence for Jack Grealish? "No, none at all.
On boos: "You know who they were booing, don't you?

Everton defender James Tarkowski spoke to Sky Sports: "Second half was bizarre. It's not often you spend the last few minutes with nine men. We lost our way a little bit and it opened up. It was a poor goal to concede. I've never seen anything like it at the end, it was bizarre.
"We couldn't get up to the ball and we seemed to be open in the midfield. Tactically, we didn't get it right on the pitch and they played right through us for the goal."
On Michael Keane's red card: "I've seen it back. I understand the rule: if someone pulls someone's hair intentionally, then it's a red card. There are a couple of components to it, really.
"First of all, Michael Keane is the most placid character you could ever meet. He's never had any intention to harm. Maybe an experienced referee at this level knows Michael Keane wouldn't do that. It's only his second game at this level. His hand has to go on his back to protect his head.
"I even spoke to the lad after the game and he wasn't asking for a red card. It's a three-match ban now over something that is absolutely nothing."
On Jack Grealish's red card: "I think we're all frustrated at that point. Jack will hold his hand up and say he needs to remain composed there. We need our players on the pitch. We dealt with it in the end. We'll take the point and move on.
"We need to start winning at home again. We finished the game with nine men and we'll never win like that."
