'Zaha's reputation is a dangerous thing' - Hodgson, Milivojevic react to Crystal Palace's penalty claim

The Eagles shared the spoils with their hosts, but felt they should have left Vicarage Road with a favourable penalty decision

Wilfried Zaha's unawarded penalty was perhaps the biggest talking point as Crystal Palace held Watford to a 0-0 stalemate in Saturday's English Premier League encounter; a decision coach Roy Hodgson and teammate Luka Milivojevic thought should have gone their way.

Asides Palace hitting the woodwork twice through Milivojevic and James Tomkins, Hodgson also felt they were 'unlucky' after referee Chris Kavanagh opted to book Zaha for diving rather than awarding a spot-kick after Adrian Mariappa had upended the winger in the area during the second half.
