Luton Town boss Rob Edwards praised Sunderland's 'Red Arrows' attackers - but slammed the penalty decision which gave the Black Cats a point at the Stadium of Light. The Hatters were leading 1-0 through Alfie Doughty's goal early in the second half, but Sunderland got back on terms five minutes from time when substitute Amad levelled from the penalty spot after referee Scott Oldham decided the on-loan Manchester United man had been fouled by Amari Bell.
There was clear contact between the pair and, while Oldham was initially unconvinced, he acted on the advice of his linesman and pointed to the spot. But Edwards is convinced the officials got that decision wrong, although he admits Sunderland probably deserved something from the game.
"It's very frustrating for us," said Edwards. "Sunderland are a very good team, I love what Tony [Mowbray] has done and they have really good individuals, so I'm not sitting here saying that they didn't deserve anything from the game.
