David Sullivan bemoans lack of penalties for West Ham United

West Ham United co-chairman David Sullivan claims that his side have not been awarded enough penalties in recent seasons.

West Ham United co-chairman David Sullivan has suggested that his side do not get enough penalty decisions in their favour.

The Hammers were denied victory at Chelsea on Saturday when Cesc Fabregas scored from the spot late on, although replays showed that the contact which resulted in the penalty occurred outside the area.

Sullivan refused to blame referee Robert Madley for pointing to the spot, but believes that his side do not get such decisions in their favour often enough.

"It was really hard to see us concede a late goal two weeks in a row and for two weeks in a row to draw games we could and should have won. It clearly wasn't a penalty on television, but nobody can blame the referee for getting such a marginal decision wrong in real time rather than a slow-motion TV replay," Sullivan told the club's official website.

"What hurts me is we get no such marginal calls our way. The Dimitri Payet penalty at Manchester United could easily have been given and there are a dozen occasions this season where we could have got penalties and didn't.

"We have not had an away penalty in the league in four seasons and we have had less penalties in four seasons than any team in the Premier League."

The Hammers had been awarded just one penalty all season, while Leicester City have won more spot kicks this term (10) than West Ham have had in the last four campaigns combined (nine).
