Everton FC goalkeeper Tim Howard admits he saw red against Wolverhampton Wanderers
TIM HOWARD admits he saw red against Wolves on Saturday.
But the Everton goalkeeper never for a second thought that his last minute moment of rash retaliation would lead to a first red card in this country.
The American raised his hands to Wolves striker Stefan Maierhofer in time added on at Goodison Park and was relieved when referee Stuart Attwell decided a yellow card was sufficient punishment.
'I know better than that but I was frustrated that he did what he did,' said Howard.
'It's not something I usually do.
'But I was annoyed more than anything.'
But the USA international, who has made 84 consecutive appearances for Everton, admitted he never expected to be handed an enforced break, even when the match official came towards him with a red card.
'I wasn't concerned when the referee came towards me because I think the boy made a meal of it really,' he added.
'I saw he had a red card in his hand, but I didn't think it was for me.'
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy, however, believed that the Everton goalkeeper got lucky.
