Albion boss Chris Hughton was left to rue another key call by the officials for the second match running in the narrow defeat by Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Hughton claimed United should not have been awarded the corner which led to their winner.

Solly March tussled with Romelu Lukaku and the assistant decided the last touch was off the recalled winger.

On Monday at the Amex, Glenn Murray was denied a blatant penalty when Stoke skipper Ryan Shwacross brought him down.

To rub salt into the wound this time, Ashley Young scored the only goal from the resulting corner midway through the second half with a shot which took a vicious deflection off Lewis Dunk to loop out of Mathew Ryan's reach.

Hughton said: "I'm frustrated for a couple of reasons. Before the goal we had a good opportunity to clear it. I don't think it was a corner and, of course, the manner of the goal was very disappointing.

"Just to be clear. On one of the (radio) stations I went on and said it wasn't a corner, then somebody told me Solly had said he did touch it.

"Well, no he didn't. What touched him was Lukaku's foot. I hope I haven't got it wrong but when you see it again it's not a corner. But we did have an opportunity to clear the ball before that and there is still a bit to happen after that.

"Even after that we tried to get back in the game. It wasn't to be in the end."

United manager Jose Mourinho was full of praise for Albion and admitted they deserved more out of the game.

Hughton said: "It's always very nice to hear that from the opposition manager, but we're still incredibly disappointed because I felt we deserved to get more from it.

"Particularly as, if we talk about chances, we didn't create too many - got into some really good positions - but over the 90 minutes Maty (Ryan) had to make one very good save.

"Apart from that, I can't think of a really good chance they created, so as an away team I thought we were certainly value for a point."
