Despite believing that his Everton side deserved their win over Stoke City, Ronald Koeman understands Mark Hughes' frustration at referees.
Ronald Koeman believes Mark Hughes has every right to be angry after a dubious penalty decision handed Everton a 1-0 victory against Stoke City.
Everton maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign when Leighton Baines' penalty deflected in off Stoke goalkeeper Shay Given via the post, with referee Michael Oliver having awarded a spot-kick after a slight collision between Phil Bardsley and Ashley Williams.
And while Koeman said he understands his counterpart's frustration, he added that his side deserved their victory – though they should have been more clinical in front of goal.
