Robert Snodgrass sorry after winning penalty for Hull against Crystal Palace

Hull midfielder Robert Snodgrass apologised and admitted the incident that led to the hosts' controversial opener against Crystal Palace was "never a penalty" after Saturday's thrilling 3-3 draw.

Snodgrass went to ground despite Scott Dann appearing to miss man and ball with his challenge, but referee Mike Jones pointed to the spot and the Scotland international scored his fifth Premier League goal of the campaign.

Palace boss Alan Pardew said after the game that Snodgrass would be "embarrassed" when he watched the replay, and the 29-year-old was quick to hold his hands up after the full-time whistle.
