Stoke City 1-1 Millwall: Potters fight back to end Lions’ winning run

Stoke City head coach Narcis Pelach told BBC Radio Stoke:

“It’s a penalty for us, a red card, and then probably we win the game, so I’m disappointed.

“It would have been a great week with three wins, but we have to take the point, it is what it is, and don’t get frustrated.

“They (the officials) got it wrong. It’s clear, everyone has seen it. The job of the referee is not easy, we are all human beings and we make mistakes.

“They have apologised for the mistake. I have been in charge for 10 or 11 games here and it has happened three times to me now.

“I accept the apologies. We’re all human beings, I’m okay with that, it is what it is, and then hopefully one day it will go the other way.”

Millwall boss Neil Harris told BBC London 94.9:

“It’s an excellent point. The whole ground, and probably the whole football industry, thought ‘Millwall are 1-0 up, that’s how it’s going to finish’, but Stoke are a good side in a good moment.

“They caused a lot of problems in the middle third all game, but I think we had the better chances, so I’m delighted with a point.

“Ultimately it’s not just one game – I look at the week and the seven points in a week.

“For us to play Burnley and Leeds at home and come to Stoke, a ground where we’ve not done great at for a long time, it’s a fantastic week for us.”
