Stoke boss incredulous Chelsea defender Luiz cannot be punished retrospectively

Stoke boss Tony Pulis cannot understand why David Luiz's challenge on Jon Walters cannot be examined retrospectively. Pulis was furious Blues defender Luiz received only a yellow card from referee Michael Oliver for the tackle in the closing stages of Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Pulis said: "The worst thing is that Luiz's challenge is a very, very poor one but, because the referee's seen it and booked him, he's not going to miss a game.

"It's a like a policeman watching a bank robber rob a bank and, because he's seen it, the police are going to let him off.

"Whereas, if he didn't see him, they're gonna arrest him.

"It's absolutely crazy - ridiculous.

"But I don't make the rules. I'm just a football manager."
