Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was happy captain Jack Robinson avoided a red card in defeat to Everton.

Robinson clashed with Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and shoved him to the ground. The defender was booked for the incident.

Wilder said: I know it'll be talked about, Jack's little spat with Dom. I've got no issue with either player. They both want to win for their football clubs, and I'd like to think that Evertonians know their football as well and will understand that.

They might have seen that in a situation or two over the years. You support it when it's your team and you look at it differently when it's against, but at least he's showing some fight and some desire to influence his team and get them going.

Wilder out to repeat successful transfer trick ahead of summer reshape

I think it's the correct decision but I know other people will think that in modern-day football, by the letter of the law, something else should have happened. But I'm glad the referee and the VAR took the sensible decision."
