Zola bemoans Huth escape
West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola felt Robert Huth should have been sent off for his clash with Matthew Upson.
The incident between the two defenders overshadowed Stoke's 2-1 win over the Hammers at the Britannia Stadium.
German international Huth appeared to catch Upson in the face as the pair lined up in the penalty area to contest a free-kick for the visitors.
Upson required several minutes of treatment following the incident, but Huth escaped punishment from referee Martin Atkinson.
Zola admitted after reviewing the incident that Huth should have seen a red card and he is unsure if further action will be taken against the Stoke defender.
"I saw the incident. Matthew is okay now, he had a few stitches," said Zola.
"Looking at the video after the match obviously it was a sending-off. I can only assume the referee didn't see it.
"I haven't spoken to the referee about it. I don't think I need to talk to him.
"It is down to the authorities to decide (whether further action is required) - it won't change the story for me."
