League One boss shown red card for squaring up to rival player in heated face-off following four-goal thriller

Bolton boss Ian Evatt was shown a straight red card after channelling his inner-Alan Pardew by getting in a rival player’s face.

The 42-year-old lost his head following the Trotters‘ 2-2 draw against Shrewsbury at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Evatt was furious with Morgan Feeney following the full-time whistle

The Bolton boss got in the defender’s face – earning him a straight red card

His heated reaction came as Evatt was speaking to referee Declan Bourne, with Morgan Feeney appearing to have a word of his own.

It led Evatt to immediately push the defender away, before proceeding to put his head against the 25-year-old’s.

Evatt’s moment of madness was reminiscent of when talkSPORT co-host Pardew headbutted Hull’s David Meyler in 2014 whilst in charge at Newcastle.

He was subsequently handed a three-game stadium ban, followed by a four-match touchline suspension.

On top of that, Pardew was slapped with a £60,000 fine by the FA, while also being punished £100,000 by then-Magpies owner Mike Ashley.

And he recently admitted to talkSPORT that he and Meyler haven’t made up over the incident in the decade since it was written into Premier League folklore.

And Evatt could be on the receiving ban of his own, with official Bourne wasting no time in brandishing him a red card.

Incredibly, Evatt was left in shock and bewilderment as he walked away in disgust after being given his marching orders.
