The Daggers scored the only goal of Saturday's League Two match with 39 minutes played, Mark Arber firing his spot-kick into the top corner after Steve Fletcher had been penalised for a foul on Peter Gain.[LNB]But Bournemouth boss Howe was disappointed with the decision made by the 28-year-old official and insisted the penalty should not have been given at Victoria Road.[LNB]"I've only seen it once, but I didn't think it was a penalty," he said. "I suppose I'm going to say that, but Fletch is saying there's minimal contact. The ref has given it though and there's nothing we can do about it."[LNB]Howe added: "I thought we did okay in the first half, we knew Dagenham's style of play and how they approached the game here.[LNB]"We wanted to get in 0-0 at half time, but the penalty decision was a big blow."[LNB][LNB]
