​Wolves defender Dendoncker heartbroken over 'stupid foul'

Wolves star Leander Dendoncker is still heartbroken over the penalty he gave away in the FA Cup semi final.

Dendoncker brought down Troy Deeney in the penalty area in extra time with Wolves 2-1 up.

The Englishman stepped up and buried the penalty, before Watford went on to win in extra time through Gerard Deulofeu.

Dendoncker said of his challenge to reporters: "At first I didn't think it was a penalty but apparently when the VAR looked at it they decided it was, so apparently it was a penalty.

"I didn't see him coming. I think you can say it was a stupid foul, the last seconds of the game, I think I shouldn't have touched him, but it's too late."
