Sunderland manager Gus Poyet criticised the inconsistency of referee Craig Pawson after their defeat against Liverpool. Pawson sent Sunderland midfielder Liam Bridcutt off for two bookable offences at the Stadium of Light, but Poyet feels the official failed to show the same discipline for Liverpool. Poyet believes Liverpool winger Philippe Coutinho should have been sent off for committing the same fouls as Bridcutt, and that Pawson put in an unacceptable performance.
