Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll was left furious after defeat at home to Everton.

Carroll believes he isn't always getting justice from some Premier League referees because of size.

The 6ft 4in striker was shoved in the back with both hands by Everton's Djibril Sidibe in the penalty area but it didn't result in a spot-kick.

Carroll told ChronicleLive: "I feel like I get nothing. I got elbowed in the face and I didn't go down, got nothing.

"I touch somebody jumping for the ball and it's a foul or everybody is screaming for me to be sent off.

"But if I get two hands in my back, whether it's a penalty or not, whatever, it's nothing.

"I never seem to get a foul on the edge of the box or nothing.

"I get elbows in the back of the head all day long and I don't get anything. Pushed in the back - nothing.

"That's what it is, and I how I feel about, I get nothing.

"I had two hands on my back - and it could have been a pen."

On the game, he added: "The first goal was disappointing as it wasn't a corner which then led to their free-kick which they scored from.

"We have to take it on the chin really. I was pleased to get an assist but that doesn't mean anything when I get caught with the ball on halfway and they go on and score then we lose the game."
