Hughton unimpressed by `wrong' Atkinson
Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has accused Martin Atkinson of getting the big penalty decisions wrong at Manchester City.
The Magpies fell behind to one Hughton was convinced should not have been given for a Mike Williamson foul on Carlos Tevez.
Then, as Newcastle tried to battle back from what turned out to be the winning goal by Adam Johnson, their manager was equally certain Shola Ameobi had been upended by Joleon Lescott.
"This game was always going to be difficult with the world-class players Manchester City have and the lads they have got on the bench," said Hughton.
"You need things to go your way. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
"The referee has made two horrendous decisions. Mike Williamson had played the ball and also, the tackle was outside the box. Then Shola Ameobi's standing foot was taken away from him."
