FANS were in shock after Nelson Semedo escaped a red card against Coventry in their thrilling FA Cup quarter-final clash.
The Wolves right-back led with a very high boot which connected with the face of Callum O’Hare.
The Coventry midfielder required treatment on a cut nose and some swelling.
Referee Sam Barrott called a foul but did not award a card to Semedo.
And after O’Hare was patched up, he then continued on with the game.
One fan said: “That has to be a straight red for Semedo?!”
