Bolton manager Ian Evatt faces an FA investigation after being sent off for confronting an opponent, according to reports.
The incident took place during the full-time League One match between Bolton and Shrewsbury Town, after Evatt confronted referee Declan Bourne, who blew his whistle early in stoppage time.
Bourne appeared to blow the whistle in the eighth minute of extra time, with time still on the clock.
The mood quickly escalated further as an incensed Evatt seemingly poked his head into Shrews defender Josh Feeney.
It is believed Evatt was furious at Feeney’s attempts to get him off the pitch, with the player waving an imaginary card as the manager protested to the officials.
