Penalty statistics prove Manchester City enjoy spot of luck

West Ham joint-chairman David Sullivan claims his club have been getting a raw deal with penalty decisions for years.

The Hammers have been awarded just one spot-kick this term, and have not been given one away from home in the league in the last four seasons.

They were denied a victory at Chelsea on Saturday after the hosts snatched a 2-2 draw with a late Cesc Fabregas penalty. Referee Robert Madley pointed to the spot after Ruben Loftus-Cheek went down under Michail Antonio’s challenge, although any contact appeared to be outside the area.
