Taylor deemed Hwang Hee-chan to have fouled Fabian Schar but replays of the incident showed little contact.

Jarred Gillett, the video assistant referee, did not ask Taylor to review the incident on the pitchside monitor.

A five-person PGMOL independent panel, which reviews officials' decisions, ruled the penalty should not have been awarded.

"I thought it was a terrible on-field decision and I thought it was unbelievably surprising that it wasn't overturned," said Wolves boss Gary O'Neil after the game.

Taylor was the fourth official for Luton's 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Kenilworth Road on Sunday.

On Saturday, Taylor refereed Preston North End's 3-2 win over Coventry City - the first time he had refereed in the second tier since 2019 - and was involved in another controversial penalty decision.

The 45-year-old ruled that Kyle McFadzean had brought down Milutin Osmajic in the area, but replays showed the Coventry captain had made minimal contact.

Speaking after 2-2 draw with Newcastle, O'Neill said: "I feel like I waste my time speaking [to the officials] so I will stop speaking to them.

"Until they improve the level of what they produce, I have no time for them."

Wolves' sporting director Matt Hobbs was charged with misconduct by the Football Association for using "improper and/or abusive and/or insulting" language towards an official following the game.

Chelsea, who are 10th in the Premier League, host leaders City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday (16:30 GMT).
