Fulham attacker Bryan Ruiz says he felt he was punched during victory over Stoke City.

Ruiz insisted Steven N'Zonzi should have been sent off for hitting out after the pair clashed, with referee Lee Probert only issuing a yellow card.

Ruiz said: "I thought it was boxing. It was a punch, I felt it and that is what Damien Duff said it was.

"I said to the referee he has a very heavy hand if he just pushed me. I felt a punch, close to me ear."
