Peter Crouch has said that he should have been awarded a penalty during Stoke City's draw with Manchester United in the Premier League this afternoon.

The striker tangled with Chris Smalling while trying to get a header away in the first half, but was penalised for fouling the defender.

After the match, he told Sky Sports News: "We had chances, we hit the post. We would have liked to win but maybe a draw was fair. I won the header cleanly [for the penalty shout], it was on target and I think Chris Smalling had his hands up, for me it was a penalty but I would like to see it again.

"The conditions today meant it was back to the old school days. We used them well and that is a string to our bow. We are always good at set pieces."

Radamel Falcao scored the equaliser for United after Ryan Shawcross opened the scoring early on for the hosts.
