West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson has questioned referee Mike Dean's decision to allow Stoke City's winner to stand at the Hawthorns.
The Potters claimed a 1-0 victory in the 89th minute when Ryan Shotton poked home, but Hodgson believes the player had led with his studs when he challenged Baggies keeper Ben Foster.
"To concede such a late goal was very galling, especially after seeing the replays," Hodgson told the club's official website.
"We defended the high ball very, very badly but then I think the referee could have helped in the situation by giving a free-kick.
"Shotton's foot was very high and he was leading with his studs."
Albion have now lost their opening three games of the season, and continue their campaign with a trip to Norwich City on Sunday, September 11.
