Chris Hughton was bemused by the referee's decision not to award Brighton a penalty in the Seagulls 2-2 draw with Stoke City.

Glenn Murray was visibly fouled by Potters defender Ryan Shawcross, but the referee and his linesman - who was close to the foul - somehow didn't award the spot-kick.

Asked about the penalty after the game, Hughton said: "If you are asking me was it a penalty then my thoughts have not changed.

"From where I was standing my first impression was absolutely it was a penalty. I was really just waiting for the referee to give it.

"It's hugely disappointing and I was surprised it was not given, particularly when it's the same side as the linesman. Sometimes when the linesman is on the far side then the decisions are difficult to make."
