Newcastle United temporary manager John Carver has said that his side should have had a penalty in the dying minutes of his side's 2-1 defeat to Southampton.
Eljero Elia scored two goals, either side of a Yoan Gouffran strike, to lift Southampton up to third in the Premier League table, but Carver believes that his side should have been given a penalty after Emmanuel Riviere's shot appeared to strike the arm of Jose Fonte.
He told reporters: "When you've played football, you understand what is and what isn't a penalty. If somebody's got their arms down by their sides and it hits their arms, you can say that they didn't mean it, but when you have a L-shape with your arm and it blatantly hits your hand, it's a penalty.
"Unfortunately, sometimes big decisions like that can make a big difference to people's livelihoods and futures."
Newcastle, who currently sit 11th in the Premier League, are yet to win in 2015.
