West Brom: Hodgson's huff at penalty decision

Nov 27 2011 by Christopher Lepkowski, Sunday Mercury

ROY Hodgson was bemoaning yet another dubious penalty decision at The Hawthorns.

The Baggies were beaten, but the main talking point was once again a penalty decision – the third spot-kick Albion have conceded at The Hawthorns in as many games.

Nicky Shorey was deemed to have brought down Aaron Lennon in the first-half.

Emmanel Adebayor scored from a rebound after his spot-kick was saved by Ben Foster.

Albion were then denied a spot-kick when Jerome Thomas tumbled as he was challenged by Kyle Walker.

The Baggies also appealed when Shane Long fell in the penalty area just before half-time.

Hodgson was unimpressed.
