Tony Pulis rages at ref after Albion loss

West Brom boss Tony Pulis is going to speak to referees' chief Mike Riley about today's defeat at home to Leicester City.

The Baggies had, at least, two strong penalty shouts against Robert Huth waved away during the game by referee Anthony Taylor.

There was also controversy surrounding Riyad Mahrez's second goal for the Foxes, which looked offside.

Pulis said: "The thing we're really disappointed with is the two penalty decisions. The Jonny Evans one, but the Darren Fletcher one looks an absolute stone-wall penalty.

"I think everyone in the ground would have said that was a penalty. With Jonny, the referee is only two yards away when he gets pulled back.

"He's in the middle of the goal and you'd have to do well to miss it. The referee can see it. Why the referee hasn't given those two I don't know."

Huth seemed to pull Evans back in the first-half, just as the Northern Irishman was about to meet a devilish Chris Brunt corner with his head.

In the second-half, he clattered into Fletcher after the Scotsman had controlled the ball on his chest.

Pulis said: "I don't think the referees will give us an explanation, I'm not going into see him (Taylor).

"I'll speak to Mike Riley because at this level referees should be getting those decisions correct."

After Salomon Rondon's header gave Albion the lead on the half-hour mark, Mahrez turned the game on its head, with two volleys from Marc Albrighton crosses in the space of seven minutes.

But the Algerian was a yard offside for the second one, which came from a deflected cross.

Pulis said: "They say the second goal is offside as well so we've got an official on the far side who can see it clearly, he's right across the line but he gets that one wrong."

But the Albion boss, who fell to his third 3-2 defeat at home this season, praised the visitors.

It came on a day when Jamie Vardy became only the third player to score in eight consecutive Premier League games.

Pulis said: "Decisions that could have helped us today didn't get with us, and that's not taking anything away from Leicester.

"Let's give Leicester credit, they're a decent side and they played to their strengths. Vardy is a handful. He's on fire, at the moment, and he caused problems all afternoon."
