Tony Mowbray shrugs off penalty controversy as Sunderland draw against Luton and praises fans

Tony Mowbray shrugged off the controversy surrounding Sunderland's penalty equaliser against Luton Town, insisting the Black Cats have had more than their fair share of bad decisions go against them this season. Mowbray was furious in midweek when Sheffield United won 2-1 at the Stadium of Light and the Blades' second goal was clearly offside.

Today it was the turn of Luton boss Rob Edwards to complain about a key decision, with the visitors insisting that they had been hard-done-by when referee Scott Oldham pointed to the spot five minutes from time after spotting a tug by Amari Bell on Amad. Amad stepped up to convert, cancelling out Alfie Doughty's goal early in the second half.

"Whether it was a penalty or not, ultimately it was given," said Mowbray. "We've had enough bad decisions go against us, going back to midweek there, so you take them when they come, we scored and we take the point and move on.
