Stoke City boss Mark Robins was very critical of both his own team and Portsmouth after their 3-1 defeat at Fratton Park on Wednesday night.
The 55-year-old said the Potters were "bullied" by a Pompey side who rolled out "all the dark arts" on their way to victory.
"I'm really disappointed, they set the tone right from the start and we didn't live with that," Robins said.
"We allowed them to bully us all night. I also didn't think for one second the referee was going to give a penalty [for the first goal] and then he did.
