Former referee disagrees with Sunderland's players over controversial decision

Former Premier League official Dermott Gallagher is in disagreement with Sunderland's players after they believed they should have been awarded a penalty against Watford. Speaking after the game, Tony Mowbray admitted the players were disappointed with some of the decisions that went against them at Vicarage Road.

The Black Cats twice came from behind to ensure a share of the spoils, but the consensus in camp was that they could have snatched all three points. "Four points on the road against two clubs, one with very big expectation to do well and the other that had started the season really well, it's been a very good week for us," said Mowbray.

"We'll take the four points. The lads were a bit disappointed with some of the decisions, to be honest. They think Jack Clarke's goal might have been onside, and they think they might have had a penalty in each half. Leon maybe should have scored when he was clean through one-on-one with the goalie but put it past the post. It was a game we could have taken three points from."
