Hughes' spot of bother

Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes felt that his side had been hard done to in their 2-0 home defeat by Chelsea.
Hughes was upset with the award of a penalty to the visitors at Ewood Park, despite new signing Andre Ooijer clearly dragging Blues skipper John Terry to the turf.
"We all feel like we've been mugged.
"Certainly by the decision for the penalty, John Terry has thrown himself to the ground and the referee has unfortunately thought it was a penalty.
"We've had a similar shirt-pulling incident at the other end and he doesn't give that. The decisions have to be right for both sides and they weren't.
"From our point of view the penalty totally changed the game.
"As soon as it was given it was always going to be difficult, their second goal was immaterial as we were pushing for an equaliser."
