Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has revealed his bemusement at referee Mark Clattenburg’s decision to disallow Kevin Davies’ late goal in Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Fulham.
The Trotters forward had his header ruled out for an apparent push on defender Brede Hangeland.
Coyle believes Davies’ header was perfectly legal and the goal should have been allowed.
"It was a very good goal," he told Sky Sports. "It's a great delivery. He's jumped cleanly and it's been ruled out bizarrely.
"We were well worth the three points today. There are a lot of positives.
"If the referee sees something that's not happened then that's the outcome.
"I had a very good view of it, but couldn't see anything wrong, so we have to accept it.
"It's resulted in us getting one point instead of three. We were deserving of the three points today
"They say the breaks even themselves out and if that's the case we've got a load to come, but that wasn't the case today.
"We really could have and should have put the game to bed."
