Jol jolted by penalty decision

MARTIN JOL claimed Fulham should have been awarded an injury-time penalty in yesterday’s 3-1 Barclays Premier League defeat by Tottenham.

Trailing 2-1 as they sought the equaliser to reward their second half dominance, Spurs right-back Kyle Walker clearly handled the ball on the floor during a chaotic goalmouth scramble.

Referee Peter Walton failed to award the spot-kick and Jol insisted it was the wrong decision.

“I felt we were a bit hard done by in the penalty situation. It was a penalty,” said the Fulham manager.

Jol added: “We deserved at least a point.

“I won’t say we played them off the park because they’re too good a team, but we played well and put them under pressure

“Everyone played their part. Tottenham had seven or eight attempts at goal and scored three goals. We had 28 attempts on goal but scored once.

“Tottenham were very efficient but in the second half they had two attempts on goal.”

The defeat has left Fulham just one point above the relegation zone, but Jol is unconcerned by their position.

“We should have beaten Blackburn and Everton and deserved a point today. We’re in a false position,” he said.
