Pardew sympathises with referee after Snodgrass penalty

Alan Pardew admitted he had sympathy for referee Mike Jones after Robert Snodgrass "fabricated" a penalty in Crystal Palace's 3-3 Premier League draw at Hull City.

In a game full of talking points, Palace fell behind to a penalty won and converted by Snodgrass, before the Scotland international conceded a spot-kick from which Christian Benteke scored.

Wilfried Zaha nudged the visitors in front, but they required a late equaliser from Fraizer Campbell after Hull goals from Adama Diomande and Jake Livermore.

However, Palace manager Pardew blamed Snodgrass, not the officials, for the opening goal.
