Penalty decision 'a tough one to take'

Hull City defender John Egan says the penalty decision that went against him during their 1-0 loss to Swansea City is "tough to take".

The penalty was awarded for a handball, though replays show that Zan Vipotnik's shot hit Egan in the face.

It was then converted by Vipotnik and proved to be the match winner.

"It's hard to speak because it's so raw. They were on top first half and then obviously the penalty in the second half has decided the game. The ball has hit my face so I don't know how they've given the penalty.

"I don't think the ref gave it, I think the linesman gave it. I asked him to speak to the linesman because the ball hit my face so he can't be 100% sure. They didn't want to do that. It's a tough one to take.

"To lose a game in that manner is frustrating. It's a tough loss to take. We've three huge games left now, we've got to dust ourselves down and go again."
