Tottenham striker Clint Dempsey was upset after seeing his goal disallowed during their 0-0 draw at Europa League opponents Lazio.
Dempsey, making his full debut following a £6million move from Fulham, thought his goal should have stood.
He said: "I thought I was level with the line, it was a good ball from Bale and as it went in I thought I'd opened my account but it was waved offside.
"That's the way it goes sometimes, they defended well, set up to counter-attack and were tough to break down.
"But we had some chances and were unlucky not to get the goal tonight."
