With the game level entering the final 15 minutes, Doherty took his place in goal for the penalty as regular shot-stopper Carl Ikeme was sent-off after taking down Wes Hoolahan for a penalty.

That incident resurfaced today as Ikeme took to Twitter to accuse Hoolahan of diving twice; first to win the penalty and then to get the ‘keeper sent-off for a blatant push.

“Ok then... been mulling over whether to say anything or not....” Ikeme wrote in a string of tweets.

“Some will say don't react. I understand ur point. It's hard not to be frustrated when someone blatantly dives to win a penalty.

“Then dives again when pushed on his Chest. I supposed you live and learn but this one is hard to take. I Apologise if anyone feels let down

“A lot of Norwich fans not happy. I have nothing against your club or Wes. These things happen in football so we just move on.”

Norwich manager Alex Neil said: “The penalties were difficult for me to see in both boxes, because they were so close to the touchline.

“Their goalie didn't respond in the way he should have done and deservedly got his red card.

“Wes got the penalty and turned round, then it was unprofessional from the goalie and he got his punishment.”

You can judge the incident for yourself, starting at 1:22 in the below video…

Just to be clear, Norwich are wearing yellow, and Wolves are… in the other yellow.
