Palace make complaint over performance of officials against Southampton

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis has complained to the referees' association following their 1-0 defeat to Southampton last week. Pulis said Howard Webb should have sent off Saints' Jose Fonte and that Glenn Murray was ruled offside incorrectly.

"In the Premier you need things to go for you and they never did," Pulis said. "If Murray had gone on to score, it would've been a different game."

"Against Southampton, in the first 20 minutes we had two great opportunities where the linesmen flagged," he added.

"I've been on to the referees' association and the linesmen should get those decisions right because the two were onside.

"Murray was through on goal and had just the goalkeeper to beat.

"In the second half, when Fonte brings down [Palace's Yannick] Bolasie, that is a sending off."
