Morrison attempted to protest his innocence, but the referee pointed straight to the spot

I think it was a pen, Murphy told talkSPORT host Jim White on Monday.The defender has got to hold his hands up and say he was too tight and was grabbing him to too long.If you take away Salahs previous, I dont think there are too many strikers on the planet who wouldnt have ended up on the floor with the amount of contact that was made.Grapping a forward continually for that amount of time is always going to end up in a penalty. The problem is with Salahs previous. The fact is he does go down too easily at times, and hes not on his own by the way.If Im honest, I dont think he had to go down, but if he hasnt, he would never have got a penalty.He was being grabbed so much that inevitably youre going to go over. It was silly from the defender, who had a good game until then and Cardiff put in a spirited display.But it didnt really affect the game.
