    Let \(G\) be a \(k\)-tough graph of order \(n\) with \(2k+2\leq n\). Then (i) the graph obtained from \(G\) by deleting any \(2k-1\) edges has a perfect matching, (ii) the graph obtained from \(G\) by deleting any \(2k\) vertices has a perfect matching. Both results are sharp. It should be noted that the second result was obtained independently by \textit{O. Favaron} [Discuss. Math., Graph Theory 16, No. 1, 41-51 (1996; Zbl 0865.05061)].
