Stoke’s Tony Pulis: Pogrebnyak should have been sent off

Stoke manager Toni Pulis rued the referees’ inconsistency this season after his team’s defeat to Fulham in the Premier League.

«Last week we had Robert Huth sent off for a challenge where he’s pulled two feet away, we’ve seen a challenge today from the Russian lad on Palacios where he catches Wilson just below the knee,» Pulis said.

«The referee doesn’t see it, Kevin Friend the fourth official is stood where we’ve seen it and it was a very poor challenge. The kid doesn’t even get a card. The inconsistency this year in the Premier League in respect to incidents has been really poor.»
