Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway criticises the referee's performance during his side's 1-1 draw with Huddersfield in which both sides had a man sent off and Huddersfield were awarded a penalty.

Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has criticised referee Graham Scott's performance during his side's 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town this afternoon.

Palace had Damien Delaney sent off for a reckless challenge on Jermaine Beckford after just 11 minutes before Huddersfield were awarded a penalty nine minutes later.

Although Huddersfield missed that spot kick, Holloway was unhappy at the speed with which the referee made up his mind on both counts.

"I thought he was so quick to make a decision and I've seen the angle. It wasn't reckless or dangerous play and he wasn't the last man. I just can't believe how quickly, from that angle, that he made that decision," said Holloway.

"That's a three-match ban and if he's going to say that Delaney was the last man and he's brought him down then I could accept that. But for a reckless challenge, not trying to play the ball, I don't agree but who am I? I'm just the Palace manager. I might be biased mightn't I?

"I thought Scannell deliberately played for the penalty. He could have easily taken another couple of steps and got on the end of it or whatever but such is life."

The result meant that Palace missed their chance to move into the Championship's top two, while Huddersfield now sit 15th in the table.
