The last minute spot kick awarded against Fabio Silva, which handed Sheffield United the win, has been widely criticised by pundits, players and fans.

Head coach Gary O'Neil was angry with the decision, which came a week after the contentious penalty call against Newcastle.

An exasperated Semedo has now called out the debatable verdicts from officials, of which Wolves have suffered several in the last two seasons, but cannot see a way it will improve.

"Now, I don't have it," Semedo said when asked if he has confidence the officials will improve.

"Last week they had one and they said it was a mistake. This game, another one, so now I don't have confidence it will get better.
